Hit-and-run driver and car found; unclear if arrest made
Police apprehended an alleged hit-and-run driver after the motorist struck a female pedestrian in a crosswalk in Pacific Heights.
Police said that at about 6:22 a.m. Sunday, the motorist was headed north on Pacific Heights Road and made a left turn onto Pauoa Road, striking a female pedestrian, whose age was not disclosed.
The driver then fled west on Pauoa.
