'Two suspects were seen running from the scene,' LAPD said. 'They were driving a white Chevy that caused this felony hit-and-run.'
Video from the scene shows the Chevy pickup truck said to be driven by the suspects had sustained substantial front-end damage and came to a stop after colliding with a parked sedan. One white SUV was seen on top of a red sedan, apparently having been pushed there by the force of the crash.

The Most Memorable Photos of Protests Erupting in Los Angeles Over Immigration Raids
A standoff between law enforcement and protesters in Los Angeles opposing the Trump Administration's immigration policies escalated over the weekend, prompting President Donald Trump to deploy more than 2,000 National Guardsmen to the city. Demonstrators shut down the 101 freeway on Friday to protest coordinated federal immigration raids that swept across the greater Los Angeles area. At least 44 people were 'administratively arrested' during a single operation that day, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesperson told CBS News. Advertisement California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that his state plans to file a lawsuit early Monday against the president. The raids sparked a three-day mobilization against Trump, who said the city had been 'invaded and occupied by illegal aliens and criminals.' On the campaign trail, he has vowed to launch the 'largest deportation in American history.' Recent media reports suggest ICE has been ordered to arrest at least 3,000 people per day. According to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), local businesses were looted and vandalized during the unrest, while some demonstrators threw eggs and used incendiary devices against officers. Though the LAPD initially described Saturday's protests as 'peaceful,' the situation escalated by Sunday evening. Police declared an unlawful assembly and dispersed crowds with tear gas and rubber bullets. 'Demonstrators have marched to the LA Live area and are blocking all lanes of traffic on Figueroa and 11th St,' the department said in a post on X. 'You are to leave the area immediately.' The police department did not facilitate any arrests, but spoke about immigration authorities' right to conduct the raids. 'Federal authorities have the right to be able to do what they're doing," said LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell. "We don't engage in that activity." Some key moments from the protests are captured in the images below. Must-Reads from TIME How Often Should You Really Go to the Dentist?

Reporter hit as LA officers fire rubber bullets at protesters
An Australian news correspondent was hit as Los Angeles police fired rubber bullets Sunday as tensions with immigration raid protesters escalated. 'After hours of standing off, this situation has now rapidly deteriorated,' Lauren Tomasi, the U.S. correspondent for Australia's 9News, said in a live report from downtown Los Angeles shortly before she was hit. 'The LAPD moving in on horseback, firing rubber bullets at protesters, moving them on through the heart of LA,' she continued. Moments later, Tomasi audibly exclaimed as she grabbed her calf, apparently in pain, as the camera panned away from the incident. 'You just f‑‑‑ing shot the reporter,' an individual was heard saying off camera. Another individual asked Tomasi if she was OK, and she said, 'I'm good.' Tomasi returned to her reporting spot hours later, and a 9News anchor in Australia asked the U.S.-based correspondent for an update on her condition. 'I'm OK. My cameraman Jimmy and I are both safe. This is just one of the unfortunate realities of reporting on these kinds of incidents. It has been a really volatile day on the streets of Los Angeles,' Tomasi said, before reporting that downtown Los Angeles had mostly cleared out by nightfall. 9News issued a similar statement after the incident. 'Lauren Tomasi was struck by a rubber bullet. Lauren and her camera operator are safe and will continue their essential work covering these events,' the statement read, according to the outlet's reporting of the incident. 'This incident serves as a stark reminder of the inherent dangers journalists can face while reporting from the frontlines of protests, underscoring the importance of their role in providing vital information,' the statement continued. A British news photographer, Nick Stern, was also struck while reporting on the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles over the weekend, according to numerous British outlets. He is now recovering from emergency surgery. 'My initial concern was, were they firing live rounds?' Stern told a news agency, noting he was struck by a 14 mm 'sponge bullet' in his thigh. 'Some of the protesters came and helped me, and they ended up carrying me, and I noticed that there was blood pouring down my leg,' he added. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
