POMONA >> A resident died after being hit by a car and the suspected driver was arrested after fleeing the scene, police said Saturday.
Lindsey Ann Prieto, 30, of Pomona was in a crosswalk at Garey Avenue and Rio Rancho Road about 8:30 p.m. Friday when she was hit by a vehicle, according to Pomona police. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.
Witnesses described the vehicle to police, who tracked the car to a home in Ontario. Police did not provide the address, and it was not listed in the booking records of the man who was arrested — Christopher Acosta, 29, of Ontario.
Booking records indicate Acosta was arrested at the Pomona Police Department just before 2 a.m. Saturday.
He was booked into the Pomona jail on suspicion of felony hit and run causing injury or death, according to police.
Acosta’s bail was set at $50,000. He is scheduled to appear Tuesday in Pomona Superior Court.
