Police seeking SUV in hit-and-run that injured a pedestrian in Costa Mesa
Costa Mesa police are looking for an SUV involved in a hit-and-run crash that left a pedestrian hospitalized early Sunday.
A 26-year-old Lake Forest man was crossing the street outside a crosswalk at Newport Boulevard and Broadway when a small blue SUV hit him at 4:53 a.m., according to police.
The vehicle, possibly an Isuzu Amigo, kept driving south on Newport Boulevard without stopping, according to authorities.
Paramedics took the Lake Forest man to Orange County Global Medical Center in Santa Ana to treat leg and face injuries, police said. According to authorities, the man was originally in critical condition but later was awake and alert.
Police think the SUV involved in the crash suffered some damage to its front passenger side. They request anyone with information about the crash to call investigators at (714) 754-5264.
