Man Injured After Moped Crash on Flower Street
LOS ANGELES, CA (September 5, 2022) – 30-year-old Miguel Velazquez sustained injuries after a hit-and-run crash on Flower Street.
The incident occurred on August 14th at around 12:35 a.m. near 3rd Street.
According to reports, a blue Mini Cooper was driving down westbound 3rd Street when it collided with Velazquez. Velazquez was riding his moped, having just gotten off work, and was stopped at a red light.
The driver of the Mini Cooper fled the scene without rendering aid to the victim.
Velazquez suffered serious injuries as a result, including a broken wrist, a fractured wrist, and a bruised tailbone. Responding medics then transported him to a local hospital for treatment.
