Manuel A. Fernandez, 54, has been charged with leaving the scene of a crash involving death in the Tuesday night crash that claimed the life of 78-year-old Maria Morales.
The incident happened around 7 p.m. in the area of 8th Avenue and 11th Street as Morales was crossing the street to visit her daughter, police said.
