Around the time that Iris Schneider was photographing the line outside LACMA's showing of "The Clock" after midnight on Sunday morning, the woman pictured here was seriously hurt by a hit-and-run driver. Friends have posted on Facebook that she was struck at Wilshire and Spaulding by a black BMW with no license plates. Two men were reportedly inside the car. "The driver did not stop. If anyone was there or knows of anyone there who saw anything please, please contact the police (or share this post--sometimes things have a way of getting to the right person)," Alyssa Archambault posts on Facebook. "She was very badly injured and will be in the hospital for many months."
