Police search for hit-and-run scooter driver in Koreatown crash – NBC Los Angeles
Law enforcement is searching for the driver of an electric scooter who struck and injured an elderly man on a sidewalk in Koreatown.
The crash happened shortly before 5 p.m. on Sept. 12 on the 2800 block of James M Wood Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. There, surveillance cameras captured a man and a woman traveling on separate Lime electric scooters on the sidewalk.
Video shows the woman traveling ahead of the man on her scooter and then crashing into a pedestrian. The two then took off.
Firefighters responded to the scene and treated the victim for a head injury. That man denied transportation to a hospital, LAPD said. It is unclear how severe his injuries were.

Shohei Ohtani sets MLB record with homer and stolen base in same game in Dodgers’ 6-4 win over Rockies – NBC Los Angeles
Shohei Ohtani set a major league record by homering and stealing a base in the same game for the 14th time and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat the last-place Colorado Rockies 6-4 on Friday night.
The win reduced the NL West-leading Dodgers’ magic number to four to clinch the division. Los Angeles is already assured of a postseason berth.
Ohtani’s 52nd homer and 52nd stolen base allowed him to break the previous mark of 13 games with at least one of each set by Rickey Henderson in 1986 with the New York Yankees.
“He’s lights out clearly,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “I think he’s ramped up his focus.”
Teoscar Hernández hit a go-ahead homer — his 30th — leading off the sixth inning that gave the Dodgers a 4-3 lead. He and Ohtani have homered in the same game 11 times.

“It’s great being a teammate with Shohei, especially because of the things he’s been doing this year,” Hernández said.
The Dodgers tacked on two runs in the seventh. Pinch-hitter Tommy Edman scored on Mookie Betts’ sacrifice fly. Ohtani legged out an infield single to first base and then stole second. He was safe at third on a throwing error by center fielder Sam Hilliard and scored on Hernández’s infield single.
Ohtani had a go-ahead homer with two outs in the fifth after Andy Pages led off the inning with a solo shot. It was Ohtani’s 27th homer at Dodger Stadium, tying Cody Bellinger for the most at home in a single season.

“To be able to cover that ball at the top of the zone, above the zone, go to the big part of the field, it’s pretty spectacular,” Roberts said.
Ohtani singled in the third and finished with his 11th three-hit performance of the season.

He gave the crowd of 49,073 some thrills after the home fans had to watch long distance Thursday night when he became the first player in major league history to hit 50 homers and steal 50 bases in a season at Miami.
The Rockies got home runs by Charlie Blackmon, Hilliard and Michael Toglia.
Alex Vesia (4-4) got the victory with one inning of relief. Michael Kopech pitched the ninth for his 14th save.
Colorado’s Kyle Freeland (5-8) took the loss, giving up four runs and seven hits in six innings. He struck out two and didn’t walk anyone for the fourth time this season.
Ryan Brasier pitched the first inning to open the bullpen game for the Dodgers.
