Health officials asked the public for help Wednesday identifying a patient who has been hospitalized in Los Angeles for more than a week after being struck by a car.
The woman believed to be in her 50s was brought to Los Angeles General Medical Center on Jan. 14, but officials have been unable to locate any friends or family members who can identify her.
She weighs 143 pounds and is about 5 feet 1 inch tall with salt and pepper-colored medium-length hair and brown eyes, the L.A. County Department of Health Services stated in a news release.
The unidentified woman “was involved in an auto vs. pedestrian accident,” the news release read but gave no further details about the incident.
Anyone with information about the patient’s identity was asked to contact Clinical Social Worker Cesar Robles at 323-409-6884 or the Department of Emergency Medicine, Social Work Department at 323-409-6883.
