Hospital Trying To ID Skateboarder Found Unresponsive In Hawthorne On Christmas Eve

HAWTHORNE (CBSLA) — A man found unresponsive in the street on Thursday has been admitted to the hospital, but officials are still trying to identify him.

The victim appeared to have gotten hit by a car, L.A. County Department of Health Services said, and he was found lying in the middle of the street at 118th Street and Hawthorne Boulevard with his skateboard nearby.

Officials circulated a photo of him on Monday to help identify him since he did not have any ID on his person when he was found.
