ORIGINAL STORY: Woman dies after being involved in hit-and-run crash, family say

Fifty-four-year-old Antonia Wood, a Yuma resident, has been identified as the victim who died after being struck by a white Ford pickup on Wednesday, according to the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office.

“Normally, they do a lot of walking. They usually walk their dogs but this time they walked down the street less than about a block out from our house,” described a family member.

The driver of the pickup then continued west on 44th Street without stopping.

Wood’s family is now looking for justice.
