LAPD locate parents of 10-year-old severely injured in crash
Los Angeles police have located the parents of a 10-year-old that was severely injured in a crash in Koreatown and they have been reunited.
The collision happened on the intersection of Vermont Avenue and Seventh Street around 5 p.m. on Thursday. The child was riding a rental scooter when a driver struck him.
The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and police said there appeared to be no criminal negligence involved.
Paramedics rushed the 10-year-old to the hospital in critical condition. He's currently undergoing treatment.
The boy did not have identification in his possession, and police sought the public's help to identify him so they could notify his parents or a legal guardian.
On Friday morning, the LAPD reported that authorities had identified him. "The parents have been located and reunited with the juvenile," police said in a statement.
The boy's name was withheld by police. Other details were not released.
