Driver Surrenders After Hit-and-Run Crash That Killed Woman

A 57-year-old woman was killed when she was hit by a vehicle while crossing the street in Van Nuys Sunday night, police said.

The collision occurred at 11:40 p.m. near the 16400 block of Victory Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Police said a 2006 Honda Civic was traveling eastbound when it struck the woman and drove off. The woman died at the scene.

It is unclear if the woman was crossing in an unmarked crosswalk.

The driver later turned himself in to police, detectives said. 

He was arrested on suspicion of felony hit and run and was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail.

Police initially believed two vehicles were involved but later confirmed only one was responsible.

The crash was under investigation.
