A woman was struck by an SUV and killed in Huntington Beach on Saturday evening, and the driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, police said.
The collision occurred at 6 p.m. July 12 near the intersection of Brookhurst Street and Crailet Drive, Huntington Beach police spokesman Corbin Carson said.
A white Toyota RAV4 was traveling northbound on Brookhurst when it struck the woman in an area south of the intersection, police said. She was transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The driver of the RAV4, a 62-year-old man from Costa Mesa, was uninjured and cooperated with police.
He was later arrested and officers said “impairment does appear to be a factor.”
