Shocking footage released by LAPD shows the driver of a blue Mini Cooper slamming into a moped stopped at a red light, sending the bike and the rider flying.
Authorities are searching for a driver wanted in connection with the hit-and-run of a moped rider in Downtown Los Angeles on Aug. 14.
The driver then stops at the intersection, seemingly waiting for the signal to change, before driving away from the area, leaving the rider behind. "The video captured a Toyota Prius flashing its front headlights as it was following the Mini Cooper northbound on Beaudry Street," police said."Detectives also wish to speak to the driver of the Prius, who may have further information on the Mini Cooper."
