Hit-and-run
A 23-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of felony DUI and felony hit-
and-run after a collision that killed a woman near the lookout point at San
Francisco's Twin Peaks on Thursday night, a police spokesman said.
The victim, identified by the medical examiner's office as 56-year-old
Chinese citizen Yuee Yao, died after a collision reported at about 8:50 p.m.
on Christmas Tree Point Road, according to police.
A four-door sedan struck Yao and two other victims, knocking them off the
roadway and down a hillside, while a fourth pedestrian managed to jump out
of the way, police said.
The victims were taken to a hospital, where Yao was pronounced dead. The
other pedestrians are expected to survive.
The sedan fled but was found parked in the Twin Peaks lookout point parking
lot and the 23-year-old woman was arrested. Her name is not yet being
released this morning, police spokesman Officer Gordon Shyy said.
Two other occupants in the sedan, men ages 22 and 25, were also arrested on
suspicion of being drunk in public, Shyy said. Their names were also not
immediately available, he said.
A 17-year-old girl inside the car suffered minor injuries and was taken to
San Francisco General Hospital, Shyy said.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Police
