LONG BEACH, CA (February 5, 2018) –A 52-year-old woman of Long Beach was killed but a hit-and-run driver in a pickup truck while waiting for a bus on Santa Fe Avenue and 19th Street on Monday night around 6:40 PM.
 
Officers arrived at the scene of the crash after receiving a report about a vehicle and pedestrian collision. Rita Felix sustained serious injuries and was found in the driveway on the 1900 block of Santa Fe Ave. Long Beach fire personnel took her to a local hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries and died.
