From Bill Lindelof:
The California Highway Patrol is looking for a red pickup truck with front-end damage that might have hit an elderly pedestrian in south Sacramento this morning.
Xong Her Vang, 91, was killed after being struck by a 1990s Ford pickup near 46th Avenue and Franklin Boulevard about 5:30 a.m., accordign to the CHP and Sacramento County Coroner officials. While her body was in the darkened street, the woman was struck again by a van.
CHP officers said the pickup was northbound on Franklin Boulevard approaching 46th Avenue in the slow lane. The woman was at 46th Avenue and Franklin Boulevard.
Her 92-year-old husband had already crossed Franklin Boulevard on the couple's way to the light rail station, the CHP said. But when his wife began crossing, she was hit by the pickup, the CHP said.
The pickup driver did not pull over after hitting the woman. Meanwhile, the husband went to the nearby home of relatives for help.
When family members arrived on the scene, a Dodge van hit the woman a second time while her body was in the slow lane of Franklin Boulevard.
The driver of the van stopped at the scene.
The victim has a family member who is a Sacramento police officer.
The CHP asks anyone who has information about a red pickup with damage to call (916) 681-2300 or Crime Alert at (916) 443-4357.
