On Tuesday, May 26th, the authorities in the Pacoima neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, identified the man killed in an auto-pedestrian accident. It calls for a car accident attorney’s expertise. 54-year-old Jose De La Rosa, a homeless resident of the city, died after a vehicle struck and left him on the road.

The preliminary accident report released by the Los Angeles Police Department showed that the deceased met his end around 9:30 p.m. on Friday, May 22nd. Investigators said that De La Rosa was in an alley east of Remick Avenue when the car driven by an unknown driver struck him.

The area is north of Osborne Street, and the motorist kept on driving without stopping to render help as required by California Vehicle Code. The police said De La Rosa passed away without making it to the hospital for treatment, and they transported his body to the medical examiner for identification.

The city of Los Angeles is offering a standing reward of $50 000 to anyone whose information about the driver or his or her vehicle leads to an arrest. Those with relevant information should reach out to the Valley Traffic Division of the LAPD.

A hit-and-run accident is not uncommon in California, and the courts frown at drivers who flee the scene of a crash. In convicting a person for the offense, the court would look at the fact that the offender struck a person or property and left the scene.

It would consider that the offender committed an illegal act or failed to perform a legal act, and the performance or lack thereof led to the injury or death of another. Those involved in hit-and-run crashes should hire a car accident attorney to represent their interest.
