Woman injured, man arrested following Pasadena hit-and-run


PASADENA >> A 75-year-old man turned himself in to police after striking and injuring a woman with his car and fleeing the scene on Friday afternoon, police said.
Carlos Sanchez of Los Angeles was ultimately booked on suspicion of felony hit-and-run in connection with the collision, which took place about 5 p.m. at Manzanita Avenue and Orange Grove Boulevard, Pasadena police Lt. Mark Goodman said.
He struck the 51-year-old pedestrian with his vehicle and left the scene, the lieutenant said.
The woman was taken to a hospital for treatment of head injuries, he said. An update on her condition was not available.
As officers were still investigating the crash about two hours later, Sanchez showed up at the Pasadena Police Department.
“He was identified as the driver of the vehicle involved in the collision and was arrested without incident for felony hit and run,” Goodman said.
According to Los Angeles County booking records, Sanchez was released from custody Friday night pending his initial court appearance after posting $20,000 bail.
