Los Angeles: The Los Angeles
Police Department’s Central Traffic Division detectives are asking
for the public’s help in identifying and locating any relatives of
a pedestrian that was severely struck by a vehicle in Newton
Area.

On June 25, 2019, around 11:55 a.m., a blue 2014 Ford Taurus
collided with a pedestrian crossing the street in the intersection
at San Pedro Street and 36th Street. The driver of the vehicle
observed the pedestrian and began to apply the brake, however; the
driver was not able to stop his vehicle and collided with the
pedestrian.

Los Angeles City Fire Department paramedics transported the
pedestrian to a local hospital where he remains in critical
condition.

intoxicated and LAPD detectives do not believe any other crimes
