A $5,000 reward has been unanimously approved by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to assist in the investigation of the fatal hit and run accident that claimed the life of 16-year-old Casie Hyde in Redondo Beach last December.

On the night of December 2, 2005, Hyde and her boyfriend, Mike Archuletta were in a car accident in the 2700 block of Manhattan Beach Boulevard. Redondo Beach detectives are investigating the accident as a possible road rage case as several witnesses reported seeing a black pickup truck involved in the accident that left the scene.

Supervisor Don Knabe requested the $5,000 reward from the Board of Supervisors during the meeting of Tuesday, March 28. The County’s reward joins a $25,000 reward announced by Hyde’s family last week.

Anyone having any information related to this accident is asked to call the Redondo Beach Police Department at (310) 379-2477.
