Witnesses Needed After Elderly Woman Killed By Hit-And-Run In Millbrae
MILLBRAE (CBS SF) -- Sheriff's deputies are seeking witnesses to help them find a driver who fled after fatally striking an elderly pedestrian with their truck Saturday evening in Millbrae.
Around 7:10 a.m., deputies responded to Rollins and Adrian Road after receiving a report of a crash involving a pedestrian, according to sheriff's officials.
An off duty paramedic was able to arrive before deputies and administered aid to the victim, who was found lying in the crosswalk in the front of the center median on Rollins Road, sheriff's officials said.
The victim, a woman in her 70s, was taken to San Francisco General Hospital, where she died. Her identity has not been released.
