A multi-vehicle crash in the North Hills area on Tuesday left one person dead and authorities are looking for a driver who ran away from the crime scene.
LOS ANGELES - Police have arrested a hit-and-run driver accused of causing a deadly four-car crash earlier this week in a stolen SUV, authorities said.
Abraham Espinoza Velasco was behind bars Thursday, accused of being behind the wheel of the stolen Range Rover that caused a deadly crash crash Tuesday morning in North Hills.
Velasco was charged with murder and his bail was set at $2 million.
The crash was reported around 5:30 a.m. near the intersection of Nordhoff St. and Hayvenhurst Ave.
