A woman was killed Tuesday morning in Malibu when a hit-and-run driver crashed into her as she was stretching near the car she had been traveling in on the Pacific Coast Highway, officials said.
The woman, who recently celebrated her 21st birthday, was in a car with friends on the northbound lanes of the busy coastal highway near the intersection of PCH and Ramirez Canyon Road at about 5:30 a.m. The vehicle pulled over and she got out to stretch.
A driver fatally struck her and fled the area, she died at the scene.
A male suspect, also in his 20s, was arrested in connection with the hit-and-run about an hour later after turning himself in to deputies who were stationed about 10 miles from the crash site in Agoura Hills.
"He knew the gig was over," said Sgt. Philip Brooks, a spokesman from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Malibu/Lost Hills Station.
His vehicle sustained major damage, including a cracked winshield, he added.
Two of the northbound lanes were closed on PCH after the collision. It was unclear when they would reopen the roadway.
