A hit-and-run in Pomona, California, injured 12 people and killed one person. According to authorities, at around 7:30 pm on Friday, October 14, a driver rammed into a taco stand near Dudley Street and Holt Avenue, located 30 miles east of Los Angeles, the New York Post reports.
Officials confirmed that a 26-year-old woman was behind the Pomona taco stand hit-and-run. Authorities said the driver reportedly fled the scene after crashing into food vendors in the area. However, she turned herself in after police pursued the suspect for over an hour following the crash.
