Los Angeles, CA - Cyclist Injured in Hit-and-Run on W 94th St and S Vermont Ave

Los Angeles, CA (June 28, 2025) – A bicyclist was hurt Friday afternoon after being struck by a vehicle that fled the scene in West Los Angeles. The hit-and-run crash occurred around 3:50 p.m. on June 27 at the intersection of West 94th Street and South Vermont Avenue.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the cyclist was riding through the intersection when a vehicle collided with them and then left the area without stopping to help. Local law enforcement quickly alerted the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office and LAPD to be on the lookout for the suspect vehicle involved.

Paramedics responded and provided immediate treatment to the injured cyclist at the scene before transporting the victim to a nearby hospital for further care. The full extent of the cyclist’s injuries has not yet been released. Authorities are continuing to search for any witnesses or surveillance footage that could help identify the driver responsible for this incident. Anyone with information about the crash is urged to contact local police to help bring the driver to justice.

We hope the injured cyclist makes a full recovery and receives the care they need.

Bicycle Accidents in California

California sees thousands of bicycle-related injuries each year. Cyclists are especially vulnerable to hit-and-run drivers because they have little protection from the force of a collision. Many of these accidents happen in busy urban areas where distracted or careless driving is common.

It is important to know what contributes to these incidents and what victims can do afterward. Here are a few key factors to remember:

• Driver Negligence: Drivers often fail to yield to cyclists at intersections or when turning. Even a moment of inattention can have devastating consequences.
• Inadequate Infrastructure: Not all city streets are equipped with bike lanes or clear markings, forcing cyclists to share tight spaces with cars and trucks. This lack of protection increases risk.
• Speed and Impact: A vehicle striking a cyclist, even at low speeds, can result in serious injuries such as fractures, head trauma, or internal injuries.
• Challenges of Hit-and-Run Cases: When a driver flees, victims and their families face added stress trying to identify the suspect. Acting quickly to gather evidence can help hold the driver accountable.
