A Santa Rosa woman was arrested Friday as the suspect in a fatal hit and run that killed an 18-year-old pedestrian walking with two friends last week.
Alyssa Whitten, a 35-year-old Santa Rosa resident, was driving the SUV that hit and killed a pedestrian Sunday morning on River Road. A significant break in the investigation came Wednesday when CHP officers responded to a vehicle fire on Llano Road near Doyle Drive. The vehicle engulfed in flames was identified as a Buick, which matched witness description as well as having matching crash damage from the hit and run.
