Driver flees with children near LAX after single-vehicle crash, leaving injured passengers

A child was seriously injured in a single-vehicle hit-and-run crash in a median early Tuesday morning in the Westchester area near Los Angeles International Airport.

The vehicle hit a median around 1:50 a.m. Tuesday at or near the intersection of South Sepulveda Boulevard and 96th Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The driver, described only as a woman, fled the scene, taking four children with her and leaving two adults in the vehicle, a department public information officer said.

The two adults had minor injuries, and one was taken to a hospital.

The children were eventually located, and one of them had a serious injury. All four were taken to a hospital, according to the LAPD.

The woman remained at large Tuesday morning.

The police investigation into the suspected felony hit-and-run prompted lane closures on Sepulveda, snarling traffic in the area just north of LAX.
