Last Saturday, a 78-year-old woman was fatally struck in a hit-and-run accident at Redlands Boulevard and Bryn Mawr Avenue in Loma Linda. Deputies from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department located the injured pedestrian and a damaged telephone pole, but the suspect had fled the scene. Law enforcement captured Kathleen Graham, a 63-year-old Loma Linda resident who was identified as the driver. Now facing charges of vehicular manslaughter and felony hit-and-run, Graham is detained at the Central Detention Center according to Nixle.
