Sandra Martin was reunited with her Chihuahua-terrier mix named Little Man nearly two weeks after a hit-and-run drive struck her in downtown.
The suspect then drove away from the scene without offering any aid, according to an LAPD statement. The Genesis was last seen driving southbound on Los Angeles Street from Fourth Street.Martin was taken to a hospital with severe injuries that required surgery. Authorities announced Thursday that Martin had been released from the hospital and was recovering at home.
The suspect in the hit-and-run is described as a Black man with a thin build, between 170 and 190 pounds and between 25 and 30 years old. Video from the scene appeared to show a newer model Jeep Wrangler following the suspect vehicle after the collision, police said. "The driver in the Wrangler appeared to be in position to see when Sandra Martin was struck by the Genesis," according to the LAPD.
