1-year-old boy, uncle killed in hit-and-run crash in Los Angeles; police say suspect in custody

LOS ANGELES -- A 1-year-old boy and his uncle were killed in a hit-and-run crash after a beach day in Los Angeles Sunday.

On Wednesday, a suspect was taken into custody in connection with the deadly crash.

The crash happened just after 4:30 a.m. on Sunday at Vista Del Mar and Culver Boulevard in Los Angeles, police said.

Oscar Sandoval and his family were heading home after a fun night on the beach in Playa del Rey.

The family piled into the car, but seconds after Sandoval started driving, tragedy struck: a hit-and-run driver slammed into his sedan.

His baby boy, Roger, and his 25-year-old brother, Oswaldo, were killed in the crash.

The father now holding a small teddy bear onesie, the same outfit he had to pull off his son while desperately trying to save the child's life.

Sandoval was behind the wheel when he and police say a speeding white Jeep SUV slammed into his sedan on the passenger side. Sandoval said the suspect "tried to get me."

Witnesses say the driver bailed out of the SUV and sprinted from the deadly scene. Video captured by a witness appears to show the driver frantically running away from the scene.

Sandoval said he tried to run after the man, but a broken rib left him gasping for air.

He recalled going back to the car and seeing his child bleeding.

"Then I see my brother, his face, his chest... God, it's hard," Sandoval said.

Sandoval said Roger and Oswaldo were both dead inside the car. His 15-year-old sister was severely injured.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to help the family.
