"I wish I could do something, but it was very too late," said Aidin Yousefi, who tried to help the woman. "I'm sorry for the family. I think she was from somewhere here."

According to the LAPD Valley Traffic Division, the woman was jogging only about a half of mile from her home when she was hit.

At this time police believe the person who hit her was driving a Land Rover that should have significant damage to it. They still do not have a description of the driver.
