Los Angeles, CA (JAN 28th, 2025)- A devastating hit-and-run accident in Lake Los Angeles resulted in the tragic deaths of two individuals, according to authorities. The collision involved two vehicles on Saturday evening at approximately 7:10 p.m. at the intersection of 170th Street East and Rawhide Avenue, just east of Palmdale.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reports that the accident involved a 2006 Honda Civic driven by a 34-year-old man and his 21-year-old passenger traveling eastbound on Rawhide Avenue.

As they approached the intersection with 170th Street East, they collided with a 2023 Subaru WRX heading southbound on 170th Street. The impact of the crash was severe, resulting in the deaths of both the driver and the passenger in the Honda Civic. The driver of the Subaru, however, fled the scene on foot, leaving the victims behind.

The CHP has confirmed that the identities of the victims have not yet been released, and the cause of the crash remains under investigation. As law enforcement continues to look for the hit-and-run driver, authorities are urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has information about the driver’s whereabouts to come forward.

Those with tips should contact Officer J. Trujillo at 661-743-6060 during business hours or the Los Angeles Traffic Management Center at 323-259-3200 after hours.

Understanding Compensation for Victims of Hit-and-Run Accidents in Lake Los Angeles

Losing a loved one in a hit-and-run accident is an incredibly traumatic experience, and the family members of the victims in this Lake Los Angeles tragedy are now facing an emotional and financial burden. If you or someone you know has been affected by a hit-and-run accident, it is essential to understand the potential compensation available to the victims and their families.

In California, victims of hit-and-run accidents may be entitled to compensation for several damages, including medical expenses, funeral costs, loss of income, and emotional distress. If the responsible driver is caught, they may be liable for these damages through their insurance or personal assets. However, in hit-and-run cases where the driver remains unidentified, victims can pursue compensation through uninsured motorist insurance, if applicable.

Additionally, families who lose a loved one in a hit-and-run may be eligible for wrongful death claims. This type of claim can help recover funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and the loss of financial support the deceased would have provided.
