A hit-and-run collision involving a classic Corvette led to significant infrastructural damage on Friday night in Los Angeles Fairfax neighborhood. According to video footage obtained from KTLA, the accident transpired around 11 p.m. near the intersection of Fairfax Avenue and Beverly Boulevard.
The Corvette, distinctively black with a red interior, reportedly crashed into and sheared a fire hydrant after the driver lost control of the vehicle. It is still unclear what led to the loss of control before the accident occurred. The impact of the crash created a water fountain which subsequently caused a minor flood on Beverly Boulevard.
This incident resulted in considerable damage to the front of the vintage car. Taking into account the severity of the crash and the flight of the driver from the scene, it can be inferred the vehicle was unoccupied at the time authorities arrived at the scene.
The exact location of the incident was in the vicinity of The Beverly Grove shopping center. The immediate area experienced flooding as a result of the collision with the hydrant.
Despite the video evidence and substantial damage to the Corvette and fire hydrant, the driver has not been located. Authorities have called on the public, urging anyone with information to come forward. KTLA has approached the Los Angeles Police Department for further details on the investigation and are awaiting a response.
