Police share image of suspect vehicle in hit-and-run crash that left two severely injured in Koreatown

Police have released an image of an alleged hit-and-run driver's car who crashed into two pedestrians and left them seriously injured in the Koreatown area in late-2024. 

The crash happened on Nov. 18 at around 8:40 p.m., when the victims were walking eastbound while crossing the street at Western Avenue and Monette Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. 

Both victims, a 28-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man, were struck by the driver of a gray 2018-2024 Toyota Camry that was traveling southbound on Western. 

Instead of stopping to help, the driver fled, police said. They were last seen continuing in the same direction towards 11th Steet. 

Paramedics rushed both pedestrians to a nearby hospital for treatment on injuries suffered in the collision. 

A standing reward of up to $50,000 has been offered for anyone who has information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the suspect, as with all hit-and-run crashes that cause severe injury in the city of Los Angeles. 

Anyone who knows more is asked to contact LAPD detectives at (213) 473-0238.
