Police apprehended a suspected hit-and-run driver who crashed an Audi R8 into an Uber-marked vehicle in Hollywood early Friday morning.
The crash occurred about 12:44 a.m. near the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Wilcox Place, Los Angeles Police Department Officer Hernandez said.
Investigators believe the Audi driver ran a red light before colliding with a passing Toyota Prius, Hernandez said.
The driver of the Audi fled on foot, but was quickly detained by a police officer who saw him running from the crash.
Video showed an officer apparently retrieving a handgun from the Audi and placing it into a bag.
An Uber sticker could be seen on the windshield of the damaged Prius, but Hernandez did not know if the driver was working for the ride-hailing service at the time of the crash.
No injuries were reported in the incident, Hernandez said.
