Suspected car in Hawthorne hit-and-run found

HAWTHORNE, Calif.

Jose Samayoa died last Wednesday after being hit near 120th Street and Crenshaw Boulevard. Police believe the 57-year-old was later hit by a second vehicle.

Police are still looking for the initial hit-and-run driver. They say the suspect may have been driving a light gray or white 2007 Ford Freestar minivan.

Anyone with information related to the case is urged to call the Hawthorne Police Department at (310) 349-2711.
