LOS ANGELES, CA – The Los Angeles Police Department has released security camera footage showing a hit-and-run suspect fleeing the scene after allegedly running over a 60-year-old man in Tarzana.
The incident happened Tuesday morning when the suspect turned left onto Clark Street from Reseda Boulevard, striking the pedestrian who was crossing at a marked crosswalk.
In the video, the driver of the black Ford F-150 parks nearby and briefly walks toward the victim, who is being assisted by bystanders.

Paramedics arrived shortly after and transported the victim to the hospital, where he is in critical condition.
