Police are seeking help from the public to find a hit-and-run driver who left a bicyclist severely injured in South Los Angeles on Labor Day. 

The crash happened at around 10:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 2 at the intersection of Hoover Street and 79th Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. 

Investigators say that the victim, a 63-year-old man, was injured when he was struck by a car moments after he had fallen off of his bicycle. He was trying to get back on when the collision happened. 

"As the bicyclist was attempting to get up, a sedan traveling northbound on Hoover Street struck him," LAPD's statement said. "The vehicle ... was last seen northbound."

The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment on life-threatening injuries, police said. He remains hospitalized at the latest. 

As with all hit-and-run crashes resulting in injury in Los Angeles, a standing reward of up to $25,000 is offered to anyone who can provide information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the suspect. 

Anyone who may know more is urged to contact LAPD investigators at (323) 421-2500.
