A 42-year-old man was struck and killed in a Los Angeles County hit-and-run pedestrian accident on November 9, 2008. The pedestrian accident victim has been identified as Rigoberto Pivaral of Los Angeles. According to a news report in the Daily Breeze, Pivaral was found lying in the street unconscious next to a parked car in the 10600 block of South Hoover Street in an unincorporated area between Carson and Gardena.
Los Angeles Police Department’s traffic investigators are seeking the public’s help in locating this hit-and-run driver who is still at large. Pivaral died later from his injuries in an area hospital. LAPD officials are still trying to determine what time the accident took place. But investigators believe Pivaral was walking east on Hoover from 107th Street when he was struck by a vehicle traveling north on Hoover. If you witnessed this 11/9/08 pedestrian accident or have any information about the hit-and-run driver or vehicle, please call LAPD South Traffic Division Detective Jimmy Render at 323-290-6067.
My heart goes out to the family of Rigoberto Pivaral. Getting killed in an auto accident is tragic. But when a loved one is struck by a driver and left to die on the street, it is heartbreaking. Please keep Pivaral’s family in your prayers.
