One person is dead, and at least twelve others hurt after a hit-and-run driver plows into a packed #Pomona taco stand. Eyewitness News is live as police search for that hit-and-run suspect, plus an update on the victims.
The collision occurred at approximately 7:43 p.m. near West Holt Avenue and Dudley Street, near Kiwanis Park, according to the Pomona Police Department.
Pomona police say the driver, identified only as a 26-year-old woman from Pomona, initially fled the scene but then returned an hour later to turn herself in.
Witnesses said the taco stand vendors are well liked and they are there every Thursday night through the weekend.
“We would always be here every weekend – they’re really nice respectful people. It’s heartbreaking to hear what happened to them – prayers out to their family,” Tania Zamora, a neighbor, said.
They had just finished setting up for the night when the woman slammed into their stand.
Police say they are not sure if she was intoxicated, how fast she was going or the circumstances of the crash.
