[ABC7] Man severely injured after being dragged under van by hit-and-run driver in Boyle Heights, LAPD says. Police said the driver took off after the crash, and there's now a $25,000 reward for any information that leads to an arrest. A man who fell off an electric scooter in the Hollenbeck area ended up being dragged down the street by a hit-and-run driver who remains on the run, police say.
[CBSNEWS] Video from the scene shows a man, identified as Luis Lopez, riding an electric scooter near Fickett Street and Boulder Street at around 9 p.m. Saturday when he fell and was knocked unconscious. Police say he fell after swerving around a car as he cut the corner during a left turn onto Fickett Street. "Unfortunately, he lost his balance and fell off the scooter and appears he hit his head and knocked himself out," said LAPD Central Traffic Detective Juan Campos. Minutes later, a white Ford Econoline van can be seen running Lopez and the scooter over, dragging him for a considerable distance before dislodged from under the car. The driver then fled from the scene without stopping to offer help.
