On Wed, October 17, 2012, Lomita Station deputies responded to the 25800 block of Appian Way regarding a Carjacking call. A Hispanic man forcibly took a woman’s Toyota Sienna and drove toward 259th Street and Walnut Street, where it appeared that he deliberately drove over the sidewalk and struck a man who was standing near a doorway to a business in the 1800 block of Pacific Coast Highway.
