Police in Los Angeles are looking for a driver who fatally struck a 57-year-old man in the San Fernando Valley on Wednesday night.  

According to a news release issued by the LAPD, the unidentified victim was crossing Terra Bella Street at Dorrington Avenue around 9:20 p.m. when a Dodge Charger traveling westbound on Terra Bella at a high rate of speed struck the pedestrian. 

The pedestrian, only described as a Hispanic male, was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision. 

Police say the driver of the Dodge Charger fled westbound and did not stop to render aid to the victim as required by law. No other information surrounding the suspect’s vehicle was released.

In April 2015, the Los Angeles City Council amended the city’s administrative code to create the Hit-and-Run Reward Program Trust Fund, which offers a reward of up to $50,000 to community members who provide information leading to the identification, apprehension and conviction of a suspect.
