Surveillance video captured the moment a speeding hit-and-run driver smashed into another car, leaving a woman dead in South Los Angeles.
Footage of the Jan. 6, 2024, crash was released by Los Angeles police on Wednesday night as the search for the suspect continues.
At around 9:20 p.m., the victim, a 53-year-old woman, was waiting at an intersection near Broadway and 60th Streets when, after pulling onto the main road, a speeding BMW smashed into her.
The forceful impact sent her Toyota Corolla spinning out of control as large pieces of auto debris were flung across the roadway.
The suspect, in a white BMW sedan, continued speeding away and eventually crashed into four parked vehicles nearby. He abandoned the BMW and fled from the crash scene without stopping to help the injured woman, police said.
Paramedics responded to the scene and transported the victim to the hospital where she was later pronounced dead.
