SAN CARLOS (CBS SF) -- UPDATE Sat. 6:02 a.m. The California Highway Patrol on Friday arrested a woman in connection with a fatal hit-and-run collision on U.S. Highway 101 in San Carlos in which a pedestrian was killed.
Sharon Oo, 36, of Union City, was arrested on suspicion of felony hit-and-run, according to the CHP.
The CHP responded at 6:37 p.m. to a report of a pedestrian walking toward the freeway north of Brittan Avenue. A Sig-alert was issued at 6:59 p.m. and was cancelled around 10:15 p.m.
Officers arrived at the scene and located a man in the road who had been hit by a vehicle.
The victim, identified as a 45-year-old man from Redwood City, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
