Los Angeles, CA (May 5, 2025) – A person sustained injuries in a hit-and-run crash that occurred early Monday morning in South Los Angeles.
The incident was reported around 1:53 a.m. on May 5 near the intersection of East 106th Street and Wilmington Avenue. Authorities arrived at the scene shortly after receiving reports of a car accident involving a vehicle that fled the area. The crash left one person injured, requiring transportation to a nearby hospital for further treatment.
First responders, including Los Angeles police and emergency medical crews, secured the intersection while collecting evidence and assisting the victim. At this time, no description of the fleeing vehicle has been publicly released. Investigators are actively reviewing surveillance footage and asking for witnesses to come forward with any information that could aid in identifying the driver. As the investigation continues, the area was cleared and reopened for traffic following the emergency response.
We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.
Car Accidents in California
California has one of the highest rates of motor vehicle accidents in the nation. In 2023, the California Highway Patrol reported more than 216,000 injury crashes. Hit-and-run collisions continue to be a troubling trend, especially in urban areas. Victims often face physical injuries, emotional trauma, and financial burdens due to medical expenses and lost work. Being injured in a sudden accident can be disorienting. Here are some important facts about common injuries victims may suffer:
- Soft Tissue Injuries: These include sprains, strains, and whiplash. Though they may not be visible, they can cause long-lasting discomfort. Prompt care can reduce the risk of chronic issues.
- Head and Brain Injuries: Even mild brain trauma can lead to memory problems, headaches, or cognitive changes. These injuries often require imaging and specialist care for an accurate diagnosis.
- Fractures and Broken Bones: These are frequently reported after crashes, especially involving pedestrians or cyclists. Healing times can range from weeks to months, often requiring surgery or physical therapy.
- Emotional and Psychological Trauma: Accidents, particularly hit-and-runs, can leave deep emotional scars. Victims may develop anxiety, PTSD, or depression, which can interfere with daily life and recovery.
- Internal Injuries: Damage to organs or internal bleeding may not show immediate symptoms but can be life-threatening. Medical evaluations after any accident are essential, even if the injuries are not apparent.
