Police are searching for a hit-and-run driver who struck and seriously a 62-year-old man in the Koreatown in late-February. 

The incident happened back on Feb. 20 at around 6 a.m. as the man walked across a marked crosswalk at the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Venice Boulevard, according to a statement from the Los Angeles Police Department.

The victim has not yet been identified. 

A standing reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information leading to a conviction in the incident.
