The Bakersfield Police are searching for two suspects in a hit-and-run that left a 57-year-old woman dead.
According to the BPD, officers were called to Jefferson Park on Tuesday morning at around 6:45 a.m. where they found the woman dead.
An investigation revealed that the woman, who was described as a transient, was sleeping on the grass in the middle of the park when she was run over by a truck that had driven "recklessly" through the park. The authorities later identified the woman as Ann Frances Gaitan, 57, of Bakersfield.
The suspect vehicle is described as a white mid-2000’s Ford F150 Crew-Cab. The occupants of the truck were only described as a white male driver and white female passenger.
Any persons who recognize this vehicle or the occupants are encouraged to call the Bakersfield Police Department at (661) 327-7111.
