PACOIMA — A motorist is expected to be arrested on suspicion of felony and hit and run when he recovers from a single-vehicle crash in Pacoima a few minutes later that left him with serious injuries, a police officer said Saturday.
At about 10:15 p.m. Friday, a motorist was going eastbound on Osborne Place from Osborne Street when he hit a woman who was “legally” in the roadway, leaving her with severe injuries, said Officer Jason Lee, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department.
“The driver stopped briefly, but then fled the scene without giving aid or identifying himself,” Lee said.
The motorist reached speeds of up to 100 miles per hour as he fled, according to witnesses.
About five minutes later, police received a radio call of a traffic crash in the area of San Fernando Road and Montague Street, where a motorist was ejected from his vehicle, Lee said.
“His vehicle went airborne and over the flood channel,” he said. “He was not DUI. He will be ultimately charged with felony hit and run.”
