A woman died Friday evening after she was struck by two vehicles while crossing a street in San Bernardino, the second vehicle driving off before police arrived, authorities said.
Witnesses described the second vehicle as a light-colored minivan driven by a woman, the San Bernardino Police Department said Saturday in a news release.
At about 9:12 p.m., a vehicle traveling north in the 1600 block of North E Street hit a woman who was crossing the street, police said. While the woman lie on the road, a second vehicle, the minivan driving north on E Street, also hit the woman.
Described as in her late 20s or early 30s, the woman was transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead. Her identity was withheld as officials worked to notify next of kin.
While the driver of the minivan sped off, the driver of the first vehicle, identified as a Bakersfield man, 22, remained at the site of the crash, police said.
“The collision is still under investigation and it is unknown whether drugs or alcohol were a factor,” police said.
The woman driving the second vehicle was at large for the suspected hit-and-run incident.
Anyone with additional information about the incident was asked to contact Detective Dan Acosta or Sergeant Jeff Harvey at (909) 384-5792.
