The driver of a Lincoln Town Car used by a livery service smashed the vehicle into a business described as an exotic car shop early this morning. The crash left some of the fancy cars damaged, a passenger injured, and the driver up and left the scene.
The crash was reported at 3:31 a.m. according to City News Service, and happened at Specialty Car Craft on South La Cienega Boulevard in the Mid-City area.
"We do work on any type of vehicle but our specialty has been very high end and exotic cars. Were also very well known for doing superb work on Lotus cars. As for exotics, weve done a huge amount of work on automobiles from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley and Rolls- Royce," says Specialty Car Craft CEO Steve Saghedjian on the company's website.
The plates of the Lincoln Town Car indicated it belongs to a livery service.
Before bolting, the driver of the Lincoln managed to pull a female passenger out of the car, only to leave her bleeding from the head on the sidewalk. The injured woman, thought to be in her early 30s, was taken to an area hospital in critical condition.
Inside the car shop, a Ferrari and a Lamborghini were damaged.
