A man suspected of fatally striking a pedestrian in East Los Angeles ditched his car at a casino before being arrested over a dozen miles away from the scene, authorities said.
A CHP spokesperson confirmed to KTLA that the vehicle struck the victim – who has not been identified – just before 11 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of Atlantic and Olympic boulevards in East L.A.
The male driver then fled the scene, the spokesperson said.
Authorities eventually tracked the man’s mangled red Toyota Celica down to Commerce Casino and Hotel, just over a mile-and-a-half from the collision site, however, the driver was nowhere to be found.
