The hit-and-run occurred Monday. The driver struck a 74-year-old woman and her dog before leaving the scene. The woman was taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. The dog died at the scene of the crash.
A vehicle matching the car’s description was found engulfed in flames in Lake County on Highway 91. Once extinguished it was determined that there was a human body inside.
