BERKELEY, CA (January 20, 2020) – A pedestrian died in a hit-and-run crash on Sixth Street Monday morning, in Berkeley.
 
A UC Berkeley officer was driving on Sixth Street when he saw a gray Nissan four-door sedan parked along the curb around 10:30 a.m. He then heard a woman inside the vehicle screaming for help.
