LAPD Seeks Hit-and-Run Driver After Fatal Koreatown Bicycle Crash

A fatal hit-and-run incident occurred on Thursday near Koreatown, Los Angeles, where a dark green Chevrolet Silverado pickup struck a bicyclist in his late 60s traveling south on Harvard Boulevard near 11th Street. The driver fled the scene without stopping to offer aid, and the victim later died at a hospital. The LAPD has released surveillance images of the vehicle and is seeking public assistance to identify and apprehend the suspect, offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. This tragic event marks one of several bicycle fatalities in Southern California this year, with nearly one-third involving drivers who fled the scene. Legal experts emphasize that families of victims may pursue wrongful death claims to recover damages for financial support and to help ease the burdens resulting from such losses. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the LAPD West Traffic Division to aid in the investigation.
