Margarita Gonzalez, 70, was hit while trying to cross Woodland Avenue on Sunday, April 20. The driver, Yolanda McDowell, crossed a double yellow line, struck Gonzalez, then crashed head-on into another vehicle before fleeing the scene, police told the Stamford Advocate. 

Angel Gonzalez, 47, an 18-year veteran of the Stamford Police force, said he still can't understand how his mother was killed with such disregard, the Stamford Advocate said.
