Keith Lee, 57, of Sacramento was arrested nearly a year after an Elk Grove hit-and-run that seriously injured an 80-year-old woman who later died, according to FOX40 News. Lee was taken into custody at his Sacramento home and faces felony charges in the case.

Police said the woman was walking across Splendor Lane near Lilypad Lane on October 10, 2025, when she was struck by a 2007 Chevrolet Impala, according to FOX40 News. She suffered several broken bones in the collision and was rushed to a hospital for treatment, per the same report.

The woman died on November 21, 2025, from complications related to injuries sustained in the collision, according to FOX40.

Arrest and Charges

Police said Lee was arrested at his Sacramento home in connection with the October crash, according to the FOX40 report. He was booked into Sacramento County Main Jail and charged with felony hit-and-run and vehicular manslaughter, the outlet reported.

The City of Elk Grove's Laguna Ridge Specific Plan describes a circulation system intended to connect automobile, transit, bicycle and pedestrian travel within and around the plan area, according to the Laguna Ridge Specific Plan.

The arrest followed an investigation that continued after the October collision and the woman's death the following month. The available reporting does not explain how investigators linked Lee to the Impala or what happened to the vehicle after the crash.
