A 44-year-old Anaheim woman was arrested Wednesday after she reported herself to police as the driver involved in a fatal hit-and-run earlier in the week.
The collision occurred in the early morning of Sep. 2, near Anaheim Boulevard and Cerritos Avenue. Officers and emergency personnel found 84-year-old Agustin Chavez from Anaheim lying on the ground and suffering from a severe traumatic injury. He died at the scene, police said.
Police believed Chavez was struck by a vehicle that left the scene prior to their arrival.
On Wednesday, the woman contacted police and provided a statement, identifying herself as the driver of a gray 2020 GMC Acadia SUV involved in the collision.
She was arrested and booked on felony hit-and-run, officials said.
