A naked hit-and-run suspect who was allegedly on drugs fled the scene of a crash in East Hollywood in an incident caught in wild footage — as he sprinted away wearing nothing at all.
Footage first obtained by ABC 7 Eyewitness News shows a man holding a T-shirt while running naked from the crash site, where multiple Los Angeles Fire Department vehicles were parked following the collision.
Authorities say the man caused the crash before fleeing on foot, startling bystanders as he ran down the street.
The incident occurred Feb. 19 at the intersection of Normandie Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard in East Hollywood. Multiple people were injured, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
“He’s the one that caused the accident. He was going through a red light. He ran out of the vehicle naked. He was on drugs. It looked like he was homeless,” witness Ramondo Taylor told the station.
Police said one person was transported to a hospital in critical condition.
The suspect was later arrested, and authorities believe he was under the influence at the time of the crash.
He faces possible felony hit-and-run and DUI charges.
