Martin said the driver got out of the car after she was hit to pull her out from under the vehicle. Then he got back in the car.

“Before getting back into his vehicle, the driver was asked by Martin if he was leaving and his response was, ‘I’m sure,'” the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement.

“The driver fled the scene without providing assistance and without identifying himself.”

Martin had been carrying the dog at the time of the accident and Little Man had run away when Martin was hit.
