DOWNEY, CA (May 25, 2020) – Saturday afternoon, Aide Bustamente and another person died in a hit-and-run crash on 5 Freeway.
 
California Highway Patrol Officer Elizabeth Kravig revealed that the crash occurred around 2:40 p.m. on the southbound 5 Freeway at the Paramount Boulevard offramp.

When the Downey Police Department officers arrived, they located the white car in the area of Florence Avenue and Studebaker Road, CHP Sgt. Adam Carmichael revealed.
 
“The driver was interviewed, detained and later arrested,” the sergeant added.
