Los Angeles, CA (August 31, 2026) – A person was injured in a hit-and-run crash Saturday, August 29, on northbound Interstate 5 near Stadium Way in Los Angeles.

According to the California Highway Patrol incident log, a rider was reported on the right shoulder after the crash. A responding unit later reported the rider was up and walking, while another person was transported to Los Angeles General Medical Center for treatment. A tow truck was also requested to remove a vehicle from the scene.

CHP classified the incident as a hit-and-run with injuries. Investigators also requested a check of the surrounding area for possible Flock camera hits that could help identify the vehicle involved. Additional details about the circumstances of the crash were not immediately available.

We extend our thoughts to those affected by the crash and wish the injured person a full and speedy recovery.

What Should Drivers Do After a Hit-and-Run?

A hit-and-run can leave an injured person without the assistance or information that would normally be exchanged after a collision. Anyone involved in a crash should stop when it is safe to do so and check whether medical help is needed. Moving to a safer location away from active traffic can also reduce the risk of another collision.

Witnesses may be able to provide useful details about a vehicle that leaves the scene. Information such as the vehicle’s color, type, license plate, direction of travel, or visible damage can help investigators identify it. People should avoid following or confronting a fleeing driver and instead report what they observed.

Freeway crashes can be particularly hazardous because vehicles continue traveling at highway speeds around the incident. Drivers approaching a crash should slow down, stay alert for people or vehicles on the shoulder, and give emergency responders sufficient space. Avoiding distractions can make it easier to recognize hazards and react safely.

1Seek treatment promptly after being injured in an accident. Your first priority should always be your health. Many providers offer treatment on a lien basis, meaning you can get the care you need now and pay later when your claim is resolved.
2Before speaking with an insurance company, make sure you have the facts. An official police report is the most reliable record of what happened and can help establish liability An experienced attorney can assist you in obtaining this report and using it to protect your interests.
3Consider having your case reviewed by a qualified attorney who can guide you through the next steps. They will safeguard your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.

Focus on your recovery and
let trusted professionals handle the rest
