Man Seriously Injured by Hit-and-run Driver in Pico-Union Area of Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, CA (November 25, 2019) – Emilio Perez was struck and seriously injured by a hit-and-run driver in Los Angeles’ Pico-Union area late Thursday night. The November 21 incident occurred in the vicinity of Lake Street and Olympic Boulevard.

The time was roughly 10:45 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Reports say video from a surveillance camera shows a man—later identified as Perez—walking across the street in an area where a crosswalk is not marked. A vehicle—which was described as a Tesla, white in color—that had been traveling at a fast speed hit him.

Reports say it appears in the video that Perez saw the approaching vehicle, dropped something he had been holding, and tried to return to the sidewalk. The impact from the crash threw Perez approximately 50 feet, police said.

Responders transported Perez to a hospital. The injuries he suffered have not been described. His condition was described as critical.

According to reports, authorities located the Tesla in the Pico-Union area that they believe was involved in the crash. According to Moses Castillo, who is a detective with the Los Angeles Police Department, a Tesla was found in Harvard Heights on South Saint Andrews Place. The Tesla had a damaged hood and windshield.

According to police, video from a surveillance camera showed a woman covering the Tesla the day after the incident with a car cover.

Investigators are searching for the suspect hit-and-run driver. They are continuing their efforts to collect information and evidence.
