Los Angeles police are looking for a driver and passenger involved in a deadly hit and run in Hyde Park on Tuesday night.
At about 9:35 p.m. a driver eastbound on 60th Street collided with two juvenile pedestrians crossing the street at 10th Avenue before the vehicle smashed into a parked car, LAPD officer Alondra Garcia said.
The vehicle’s driver and a passenger got out and ran off without calling for help or rendering any aid to the pedestrians, Garcia said. Video from OnScene, a news service, showed the vehicle crunched with the air bags deployed.
