A hit-and-run driver remains at large after striking two pedestrians in Long Beach.

The collision happened on July 17 at the intersection of East 4th Street and St. Louis Avenue, according to the Long Beach Police Department.

Surveillance video of the crash was released Wednesday showing the driver in a white Kia sedan.

As the driver approached a busy crosswalk, the two victims were seen looking toward the suspect before crossing over. The suspect appeared to slow down for a moment before suddenly increasing their speed and crashing into the pedestrians.

The driver sped away without stopping to help the victims, police said.

Paramedics arrived at the scene and transported the victims to a local hospital with moderate, but non-life-threatening injuries. 

Authorities are still searching for the suspect driver. Their vehicle is described as a white, newer model Kia four-door sedan. It has a license plate ending in 243.

Anyone who may have witnessed the crash is asked to call LBPD Detective Joseph Johnson at 562-570-7355.

Several women who were victims of a pipe-wielding road rage driver are expressing outrage at the likelihood that he has already been released from prison.

Attorney Gloria Allred hosted a video conference on Wednesday that included statements from several victims of Nathaniel Radimak.

Radimak, 37, was arrested in January 2023 for a series of attacks on Los Angeles area drivers, some of which were recorded on dash camera video. In at least two cases, he was seen on video getting out of his Tesla and striking vehicles with a metal pipe.

At the time of his arrest, prosecutors said Radimak had a lengthy criminal history “which spans nearly two decades and crosses multiple states.”

He faced charges in a 2020 road rage case in Hollywood, during which police allegedly found steroids and more than $30,000 in cash inside his car.

Last September, Radimak pleaded guilty to assault, vandalism, elder abuse and criminal threats and was sentenced to five years in prison in a plea deal that his victims blasted for being reached without their input.

Allred said her clients were notified that Radimak was released from prison on Wednesday after getting credit for 424 days served while awaiting sentencing, 212 for actual days in jail and another 212 days for good behavior.

He no longer has an active record on the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation website.

“I’m very disappointed in the overall outcome of this case leading up to his release,” one victim, identified only as a “Jane Doe,” said on Wednesday’s video conference. “I highly doubt Radimak has learned from his mistakes and will be coming out a changed person after a short time.”

Allred and her clients also shared concern that Radimak would seek retribution.

“I’m worried he will try to find the victims whose names have been released,” the victim said.

Netflix is pulling back the curtain on five of the NBA’s major stars in the new sports series “Starting 5.”

The 10-part series follows the lives of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, the Miami Heat’s Jimmy Butler, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards, the Sacramento Kings’ Domantas Sabonis and the Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum.

Fans will get “an intense, behind-the-scenes look at five of the league’s best players,” according to the streamer.

“The series captures all five athletes in their battles on and off the court as they chase greatness, push through injuries, and balance the demands of family and legacy,” Netflix explained in a media release. “James exerts himself harder than ever to stay healthy — and dominant — in his 21st season, while Edwards electrifies with his rapid rise. Butler’s relentless drive propels the Heat, Sabonis anchors the Kings with his versatile play, and Tatum leads the Celtics in their quest for a record 18th championship.”

The series is produced by James’ media platform Uninterrupted in association with former president Barack Obama’s Higher Ground Productions and former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions.

“Starting 5” follows other behind-the-scenes sports series like “The Receiver” and “Quarterback,” which followed the NFL’s top receivers and quarterbacks from the last two seasons.

All 10 45-minute episodes of “Starting 5” will premiere on Oct. 9 on Netflix.
