Police: Driver hits woman in Long Beach, backs up, hits her again

The driver of an SUV drove over a woman on a Long Beach street just after midnight Sunday, then backed up and drove over her again, before driving off, police said.

The woman was killed by the male driver and his white or beige Ford Expedition, the Long Beach Police Department reported.

The Expedition had been driven west on Anaheim Street near Ohio Avenue, when it struck a 49-year-old who was crossing Anaheim Street. The pedestrian was heading south from the northeast curb of Ohio Avenue, in an unmarked crosswalk.

After the initial contact, the SUV driver reversed and made a right tu onto northbound Ohio Avenue, and struck the woman a second time, before leaving the scene.

The woman was then struck by a 2006 Cadillac that was driven by 49-year- old man who stayed at the scene. The woman was pronounced at the location.

Police were dispatched to the scene at 12:46 a.m.

Long Beach police detectives asked anyone with any information regarding the death to call them at (562) 570-5273.
