Police are searching for the driver responsible for a hit-and-run crash that left a pedestrian with severe injuries in East Hollywood on the night of July 13, 2026. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the collision occurred shortly after 11 p.m. near the intersection of Hoover Street and London Street. Investigators said the pedestrian, a man believed to be in his 30s, was crossing the intersection when he was struck by a white sedan. Instead of stopping to render aid or contact emergency services, the driver fled the scene, leaving the victim seriously injured in the roadway. Paramedics responded and transported the man to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for severe injuries. Authorities have not released additional information regarding the victim’s condition or identity.
Investigators also have not released a description of the suspect or additional details about the vehicle involved in the collision. The Los Angeles Police Department continues to search for the hit-and-run driver and is asking anyone with information to come forward. Police reminded motorists that California law requires drivers involved in a collision to stop, notify emergency services, and remain at the scene to identify themselves. Officials also encouraged pedestrians to use marked crosswalks, obey traffic signals, and remain alert while crossing roadways. The investigation into the East Hollywood hit-and-run remains ongoing as detectives work to identify the driver responsible for the serious collision.
