WHITTIER — Police said a hit-and-run driver left a major clue at the scene where a traffic signal was knocked down in Uptown Whittier late Monday — the vehicle’s license plate.
Officers responded about 11:10 p.m. to reports of a hit-and-run crash that had knocked down a traffic signal at Philadelphia Street and Comstock Avenue, Whittier police Lt. Randy Inman said. “On arrival, they discovered a license plate left at the scene.”
Police hadn’t found the car, which was registered “out of the area,” Tuesday morning, he said, however investigators expected to track down the owner soon.
