31-year-old Sabrina Marie Gonzalez was walking near Cottonwood Road and White Lane when she was struck by a vehicle. She was transported to a local hospital where she later died.

The suspect fled the scene but was later located and booked into Kern County Jail.

Alcohol was not a contributing factor but the investigation determined the pedestrian was at fault.
