A man has been taken into custody by the police on suspicion of hitting and running a 15-year-old in South Los Angeles.
Krunal Jigneshbhai Dhanani was taken into custody by California Highway Patrol officers on Wednesday. On social media, the department posted a video of the arrest.
Dhanani is being charged with felony hit-and-run, according to CHP.
The collision occurred on April 7 in South Los Angeles on Nadeau Street close to Croesus Avenue.
Sebastian Carrillo was using the sidewalk to ride his bike home from school. Surveillance footage then revealed that Carrillo and his bike were pushed into a metal fence when a black BMW skidded up onto the curb and struck them.
Then, with other people after the vehicle, the driver backed away and drove away. Witnesses were able to obtain the number plate number of the vehicle.
According to the security footage, the boy’s father, Eric Carrillo, stated, “to me, it looks like attempted murder,” but added, “it could have been worse.”
The crash is currently being looked into by CHP authorities. Investigators encourage anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact them at 424-551-4000.
