Hit-and-Run Crashes Involving Multiple Vehicles in Los Angeles
Multi-vehicle hit-and-run crashes like the one on West 115th St are among the most dangerous and frustrating incidents on Los Angeles streets. These collisions not only cause physical harm but also leave victims dealing with the added emotional and legal stress of having no immediate resolution or accountability.
In this case, a driver reportedly left the scene despite being involved in a crash that caused injuries and property damage—an act considered a felony under California Vehicle Code § 20001. Unfortunately, such incidents are on the rise in dense urban areas like South LA, where high traffic volumes and narrow residential streets create constant risk.
Three-car collisions in particular often involve complex fault determinations, chain-reaction impacts, and heightened potential for injury. Victims may experience whiplash, head injuries, or trauma from airbag deployment or sudden impact, even in collisions at lower speeds.
When a driver flees, injured parties may be left without immediate assistance or crucial insurance details. That’s why prompt medical attention and official documentation are essential. Law enforcement typically relies on community tips and camera footage in these investigations, making public cooperation vital.
