Woman killed in Fresno hit-and-run, police searching for driver

FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – Fresno Police are searching for a driver who struck and killed a female in west Fresno on Monday night.

Officials say at 8:15 p.m., Fresno Police responded to a 911 call of a hit-and-run vehicle versus pedestrian call at Hughes Avenue just south of Belmont Avenue.

Officers said when units arrived, they found a 25-year-old woman lying unconscious on the roadway. Units attempted CPR before transporting her to the hospital, but she died from her injuries.

Based on preliminary information, police say a disturbance occurred between several people inside a vehicle when they pulled over to have a discussion, when the female stepped out of the vehicle and onto the roadway, and was struck by a separate vehicle.

According to witness statements, police say the vehicle stopped, then fled following the collision.

Based on witness statements, officials say they are currently looking for a dark colored sedan, possibly with damage on the passenger side.

Police are treating this as a fatal hit-and-run, and the suspect is looking at possibly felony vehicular manslaughter charges.

This is an ongoing investigation; anyone with information is asked to contact 559-621-7000.
