2 LA County deputies hospitalized after hit-and-run crash, suspect arrested for possible DUI

Paramedics rushed two Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies to the hospital after a hit-and-run crash that resulted in the arrest of a suspect.

The collision happened in South Los Angeles at the intersection of West 98th Street and South Vermont Avenue, according to the LA County Sheriff's Department. The impact of the crash sent the deputies' patrol car into a power pole. 

Deputies said a man tried to run away from the crash site but was quickly caught. It's unclear if good samaritans detained the driver until authorities arrived or if other deputies arrested the man shortly after the crash. 

The man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and hit-and-run, causing injury. His identity has not been released.

Both deputies were released from the hospital by Tuesday morning.

West 98th Street and South Vermont Avenue have been closed at the intersection as investigators comb through the scene.
