On January 23, 2023, at around 7:25 p.m., 32-year-old Kyle Ray of Los Angeles was possibly in medical distress and passed out in the westbound number two lane of 6th Street, west of Bonnie Brae. A blue Dodge Ram truck traveling westbound 6th Street ran over Ray and dragged him 20-feet. The driver fled the scene without stopping to render aid and identify him or herself. The Los Angeles Fire Department Paramedics responded and pronounced Ray dead at the scene.
The driver is described as a possible male Hispanic, but there is no further description. The blue truck is a 2007-2013 Dodge Ram with custom lights and rims, and the bed of the track was equipped with a rack.
Video of the crash is posted on Central Traffic’s social media accounts: YouTube “LAPD Central Traffic,” Twitter @LAPDCTD24, Instagram @LAPD_CTD_24.
On April 15, 2015, the City Council amended the Los Angeles Administrative Code and created a Hit-and-Run Reward Program Trust Fund. A reward of up to $50,000 is available to community members that provide information leading to the offender’s identification, apprehension, and conviction or resolution through a civil compromise.
