Los Angeles Police Department detectives are searching for the hit-and-run driver who struck a man in the Vernon area in June, leaving him with severe injuries.

It happened just after 9 p.m. on Washington Boulevard, according to a news release from LAPD. They say that the victim, who still hasn't been identified, was crossing the street when he was hit by a flatbed semi-truck.

The driver fled from the area heading eastbound toward Soto Street, police said.

The victim was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition at the time, the LAPD release said. His exact injuries were not disclosed.

A standing reward of up to $25,000 was offered for information that helps lead detectives to the identification, arrest and conviction of the suspect.
