Police are looking for a motorist who killed a man Tuesday morning in a hit-and-run incident in La Mirada.

Deputies responded to a report of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle near Santa Gertrudes Avenue and Lawnhill Drive about 4:30 a.m. and found a man about 70 years old lying in the street, said Sgt. James Franck with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Norwalk station.

Paramedics pronounced the man dead at the scene. The motorist who hit him fled.

Franck said deputies have recovered what they believe is the vehicle that struck the man, but they are not releasing a description of the vehicle or suspect.
