SANTA MONICA, CA -- Santa Monica police are looking for a silver sedan involved in a suspected hit-and-run crash that injured a pedestrian Tuesday and on Thursday are asking for any witnesses to come forward.

The hit-and-run crash happened at around 5:45 p.m. at at the 1300 block of Second Street, Santa Monica Police said. When officers arrived they found an unresponsive woman with significant head injuries in the crosswalk, Lt. Saul Rodriguez said.
