A woman was killed in a hit-and-run in Arlington, Virginia, Monday night, and a man has been arrested and charged in the crash.
The Arlington County Police said in a statement Tuesday that Viviana Oxlaj Lopez, 52, of Arlington, was struck by a car at 2nd Street South, at Old Glebe Road, at about 7:30 p.m. The driver drove off, the police said. She was found unresponsive in the roadway when the officers got there; she died in a hospital.
Witnesses in the Arlington Heights neighborhood gave the officers a description of the driver and vehicle, and they found evidence at the scene as well, police said.
