A 24-year-old Huntington Beach woman was killed in a pedestrian accident when a car hit her and another person while they were crossing Brookhurst Street in Huntington Beach, according to a news report.
Oriana Millan was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident and her companion, Harlan Coffman, 25, of La Mirada, sustained non-life threatening injuries when they were struck by a Toyota Camry driven by Jason Roberts, 32, of San Juan Capistrano. Roberts then fled the scene, but was arrested later when he called Laguna Beach police from a Laguna Beach convenience store to say he had been involved in a crash with an animal on Pacific Coast Highway.
When police arrived at the convenience store, they reported heavy damage to Roberts’ vehicle, and said it was clear that he had struck a person. Police then alerted Huntington Beach officers, who arrested Roberts on suspicion of felony hit-and-run.
