A 33-year-old man suspected of a fatal hit-and-run collision in North Hollywood was taken into custody Tuesday after turning himself in to law enforcement.
Detectives from the Valley Traffic Division determined after investigating that a 26-year-old woman walking across Victory Boulevard, east of Troost Avenue, was struck by a sedan traveling westbound on Victory Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The woman fell onto the pavement as a result of the initial collision and was on her hands and knees moments before she was struck a second time by a vehicle described as a light blue or gray 2003 Toyota 4Runner and killed.
The SUV driver was later identified by detectives as Ryan Antonio Gomez Cifuentes, who turned himself in at the LAPD Valley Traffic Division station in Panorama City at around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, police said.
Cifuentes was arrested and booked on suspicion of felony hit-and-run, as investigators continued their search for the other driver involved in the hit-and-run collision.
The victim’s name was being withheld pending notification of relatives.
