By City News Service | news@socalnews.com |
PUBLISHED: August 24, 2022 at 10:36 a.m. | UPDATED: August 24, 2022 at 3:48 p.m.

LOS ANGELES — Authorities sought the public’s help Wednesday in finding the
hit-and-run motorist responsible for severely injuring a restaurant worker who
was struck while riding his moped home in the downtown Los Angeles area.

Miguel Velazquez, 20, was struck from behind about 12:35 a.m. Aug. 14 while
stopped at a traffic signal at Third and Flower streets, the Los Angeles Police
Department reported.

Security video of the collision shows Velazquez stopped at a red light when a
car, described by police as a royal blue Mini Cooper with a sunroof, approaches
on westbound Third Street and slams into the moped from behind, sending the
small scooter and the rider flying.





“Just as I was mid-turn, he slammed into me, and I was already in the air at
that point,” Velazquez told ABC7, noting that he was on his way home from work
at the time. “I hit my wrist, breaking that when I fractured the other, and my
tailbone was badly bruised.”

The driver of the Mini Cooper stopped briefly at the intersection, then drove
away.



Velazquez told reporters three bystanders helped get him to the curb, and some
followed the vehicle that struck him.

Police said a witness also took video of the motorist fleeing the scene.

“The video captured a Toyota Prius flashing its front headlights as it was
following the Mini Cooper northbound on Beaudry Street,” police said.
“Detectives also wish to speak to the driver of the Prius, who may have further
information on the Mini Cooper.”

A standing reward of up to $25,000 has been offered by the city of Los Angeles
for information that helps solve a non-fatal hit and run.

Anyone with information on the case was urged to contact detectives at
213-833-3713 or via email at 39761@lapd.online. Tipsters may also call police at
877-527-3247, or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS; or use the website
www.lacrimestoppers.org.

The driver of the Mini Cooper was described by police as man in his 40s with
black hair.

Velazquez told Channel 7 that after he was struck, he was able to “look up and
make eye contact with the individual (driver). He did have a look of concern,
mainly for himself, not for me in any way.”

Velazquez said he only recently moved to Los Angeles from Chicago. He praised
the bystanders who came to his aid, and said he is grateful to be alive.

A GoFundMe page was established to help pay for Velazquez’s medical and living
costs while he recovers.
