A $50,000 reward is being offered for help finding a driver who plowed through a red light in Koreatown, crashed into pedestrians at a bus stop and then fled on foot, abandoning his pickup truck.

Fredy Mendez, 38, is believed to have been behind the wheel in the hit-and-run crash that killed 45-year-old father and husband Javier Hernandez and injured two others.

"Who’s gonna be there for the wife, the kids? Who's gonna support them?" Hernandez's niece said at the time of the crash.

Javier Hernandez, 45, was pronounced dead at the scene. He had pinned between the truck and a pole, a detective said.

Hernandez left behind a wife and two children. At the scene of the crash in July, Hernandez's niece described the family's shock.

“The wife, she’s just destroyed. There’s no words to describe how painful this is,” Estela Martinez said. “He was the one who was sending money for them, for the kids ... Now, who’s gonna be there for them? Who’s gonna be there for the wife, the kids? Who’s gonna support them?”
