According to the Dept. of Public Safety, a 2008 Honda Civic collided with a 20-year-old male USC student on a bicycle around 10:40 p.m. Tuesday evening and subsequently fled the scene. A security ambassador reported the traffic collision happened at the intersection of 28th Street and Figueroa Street.

“The student was treated at the scene by paramedics and then transferred to California Hospital where he was later released,” DPS Deputy Chief David Carlisle said.

According to ABC News, the student suffered scratches and was treated for hip and shoulder pain.

“He complained of pain in his left hip and shoulder and had abrasions on his wrist and knee,” said Sgt. A. Cruz of Los Angeles Police Department South Traffic Division.

Though DPS was on the scene, LAPD South Traffic Division is handling the investigation.
