Fatal Hit-and-Run Bicycle Crash in Koreatown Leaves Man Dead

Two brothers were riding their bikes to work on Tuesday morning before being struck by a vehicle on April 26th. 

The incident occurred at about 3:40 a.m. at the intersection of Olympic Boulevard and Mariposa Avenue. 

A white Jeep Cherokee struck the two, which sadly resulted in the death of Leonidas Serech, 39. 

His brother suffered non-life threatening injuries and was taken to the hospital for treatment. 

Additionally, the involved driver fled the scene without providing aid to the victims. 

There is currently a $50,000 reward available to anyone who provides information on the suspect.
