Victim Killed in Hit-and-run Pedestrian Accident Identified
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (August 26, 2021) – Oswaldo Dominguez-Flores, 55, died in a hit-and-run pedestrian accident August 11th at Broadway and 54th Street in South Los Angeles.
The pedestrian was crossing Broadway in a marked crosswalk, but against a “Don’t Walk” signal, police said. Meanwhile, an oncoming northbound tow truck struck him and dragged his body some 180 feet. Surveillance video captured the deadly crash and helped authorities with a vehicle description.
The pedestrian accident on Broadway happened about 10:03 p.m. on August 11th, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. A driver in a light-colored `Wrecker Tow Truck’ struck Oswaldo Dominguez-Flores at the South LA intersection and fled northbound on Broadway without stopping to help the person. Sadly, the pedestrian died at the scene of the collision.
Police later identified a “person of interest” wanted for questioning in connection with the deadly hit-and-run crash. Javier “Turtle” Garcia, 35, is a tow truck driver who they believe may have fled the crash scene. They say Garcia is about 5 feet, 9 inches tall and about 215 pounds with brown hair and eyes.
Witnesses or anyone with information about the whereabouts of the suspect may call 1-877-LAPD-247.
