A little boy and his mom are run down by a hit-and-run driver on a South L.A. street. The boy suffering life-threatening injuries, his mother suffering minor injuries. The new reward to find the fleeing driver. Tonight at 11 from ABC7
A $25,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the SUV driver who collided with the two on Saturday, Oct. 1, sending the 3-year-old boy flying into the air so hard he was injured again when he hit the ground.
The mother, Elsa Zelaya and her son, Dominick Zelaya, were crossing on Broadway and 80th Street in South Los Angeles when they were struck. The driver fled the scene, but another motorist stopped to help the two. While Elsa only sustained minor injuries, Dominick was hurt so badly his situation was considered life-threatening and he is recovering from surgery at Children's Hospital."For the person at home if you're watching this - it's a pretty bad accident," said LAPD Officer Luis Herrera. "A 3-year-old kid is in the hospital fighting for his life. To just leave him there, it's kind of messed up. Just turn yourself in. Come clean. It's an accident.
Herrera says hit-and-runs are becoming more common in Los Angeles - with the department now seeing 100 or more in a week. Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Herrera at 421-2500. Anonymous tips can be provided to
