San Marino: Woman struck by hit-and-run driver
A woman was struck by a hit-and-run driver on Los Robles Avenue in San Marino Wednesday morning.
A woman about 70 years old was crossing Los Robles Avenue at Oak Street when she was struck by an unknown vehicle at about 6 a.m., according to the San Marino Police Dept.
The driver fled in the vehicle without stopping to render aid, police said.
An on-duty Pasadena police officer passed by the scene at about 6:05 a.m. and saw the woman lying in the street, according to San Marino Police Chief John Incontro.
Police believe she was crossing the street where she was struck. There is no crosswalk there, Incontro said.
The unresponsive woman was hospitalized. Her injuries were believed to be non-life-threatening, Incontro said, but police were waiting on an update from the hospital.
San Marino police contacted Alhambra and South Pasadena police departments to be on the lookout for vehicles with front-end collision damage Wednesday morning.
According to her family members, the woman walks the route daily on her way to a bus stop to go to work. The family lives nearby, Incontro said.
No suspect description was available. Police were seeking tips from the public. Contact San Marino Police at (626) 300-0720, or contact LA Crime Stoppers anonymously at (800) 222-TIPS.
