LONG BEACH, CA (December 11, 2023) – Saturday night, Yolanda Hernandez, 78, died and Ronald Quispe, 32, was arrested in a horrific hit-and-run crash on Atlantic Avenue.

The incident happened at about 5:25 p.m. in the 2700 block of Atlantic Avenue, according to Lt. Jonathan Cole of the Long Beach Police Department.

Paramedics from the Long Beach Fire Department initiated life-saving measures. However, the Long Beach woman succumbed to injuries at the scene, Cole added. Her identity remained undisclosed until her family was notified.

“The preliminary investigation suggests a vehicle driving southbound on Atlantic Avenue struck the pedestrian,” he added. “The driver of the vehicle, a male adult, initially left the scene, but later returned and cooperated with the investigation.”

The 32-year-old driver from Long Beach was later arrested on suspicion of felony hit-and-run, police added.

Moreover, the crash shut down Atlantic Avenue for hours from Patterson to Columbia streets for the death investigation.
