The Los Angeles Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a 10-year-old boy who was severely injured in a traffic collision in the Wilshire Center neighborhood of Los Angeles.
According to the LAPD, the unidentified boy was riding a rented scooter around 5 p.m. Thursday evening when he collided with a vehicle at the intersection of Vermont Avenue and 7th Street.
LAFD paramedics responded to the scene and transported the boy to a nearby hospital where he remains in critical condition.
“A review of the juvenile’s phone showed Cyrillic alphabet writing, indicating he is possibly of Russian descent,” LAPD said in a statement. “Due to his age, he had no identification on his person and no fingerprints on file to aid to his identification.”
The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and is cooperating with authorities. No foul play is suspected, LAPD said.
Anyone with information about this collision is urged to contact the West Traffic Division Watch Commander at 213-473-0222.
During non-business hours or on weekends, calls should be directed to 1-877-527-3247.
Anonymous tips may be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or texting 274637. All text messages should begin with the letters “LAPD.”
