The LAPD is looking for help from the public following a fatal hit-and-run Friday night in Panorama City, authorities said on Saturday.
Around 6 p.m., a vehicle described as a lowered black pickup truck was traveling westbound on Roscoe Boulevard when it hit a woman walking northbound on Wakefield Avenue at an unmarked crosswalk, a police statement said.
The driver did not stop, attempt to identify themselves, or render aid, and continued westbound on Roscoe before turning northbound on Lennox Avenue.
Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics arrived and transported the woman to a hospital, where she died from her injuries. She is described as a woman around 60 years old. Her name was not immediately released pending notification of next of kin.
Detectives with the LAPD Valley Traffic Unit are asking anyone who may have witnessed the collision to come forward with information that may help them. A reward of up to $5,000 is available for anyone who offers information leading to the suspect.
Anyone with information can call 818-644-8036 or 818-644-8020.
