Police have released new security video of a "person of interest" connected to a hit-and-run in August that left a person in critical condition in Canoga Park. 

The crash happened on Aug. 3 at around 1 a.m. on Topanga Canyon Boulevard, just north of Parthenia Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. 

It was around then that "a white Acura 4-door sedan traveling northbound on TopangaCanyon Boulevard ... sideswiped a gray 2022 BMW sedan, causing the driver of the BMW to lose control and collide with a pole," said the LAPD statement. 

Instead of stopping, the driver continued, leaving the BMW driver behind. They were hospitalized with severe injuries, police said. 

On Monday, investigators released some footage of a "person of interest" whom they are searching for as part of the case. He was seen wearing a yellow sweatshirt outside of a business the morning of the crash. 

The city of Los Angeles has offered up to $25,000 as a reward for anyone who has information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the driver.
