A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered in exchange for information that’ll lead to the arrest of a man who critically injured a pedestrian in a hit-and-run crash in Tarzana.
The incident was reported just before 9:30 a.m. Tuesday near the intersection of Clark Street and Reseda Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Surveillance footage captured from the scene showed a pickup truck making a turn, leaving a pedestrian on the floor.
The truck then pulls to the side and the driver exits the vehicle to approach the victim. Other drivers are seen getting out of their vehicles to check on the pedestrian, as well. Shortly after, the driver returns to the truck and takes off eastbound on Clark Street.
Police said the driver wanted in the hit-and-run wore a baseball hat, blue jacket, and dark-colored pants at the time of the crash. He was traveling in a black Ford F-150.
The victim, who was only described as a man in his 60s, is in critical condition, according to police.
Anyone with information on the case is urged to contact LAPD Valley Traffic Division Detective Otrosina at 818-644-8036 or Officer Reyes at 818-644-8114. Anonymous tips can be made by contacting Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS.
