Hit-and-Run Traffic Collision Leaves Pedestrian Dead
October 26, 2026 – Los Angeles, CA – Los Angeles Police Department officials report that South Traffic 
Division detectives are asking the public’s help in identifying the suspect involved in a fatal hit-and-run traffic collision that left a man dead.
On October 24, 2026, around 3:47 p.m., a grey four door sedan was negotiating a westbound turn from a gas station on West Manchester Avenue, east of South Broadway, when it collided with a pedestrian. The vehicle continued traveling westbound Manchester Avenue until bystanders flagged the driver down and advised he had struck a pedestrian.
The driver returned to the scene of the collision and stayed at scene until the Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics arrived. The driver left the scene prior to the arrival of officers and failed to provide his information as required by law.
The Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded and transported the victim to a local hospital where he was later pronounced deceased.
The victim is described as a 66-year-old male. His identity is being withheld pending notification to next-of-kin.
Drivers are reminded that if they become involved in a collision, they should pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so, notify emergency services, and remain at the scene to identify themselves.
On April 15, 2015, the City Council amended the Los Angeles Administrative Code and created a Hit-and-Run Reward Program Trust Fund. A reward of up to $50,000 is available to community members that provide information leading to the offender’s identification, apprehension, and conviction or resolution through a civil compromise.
