Sad news: A 47-year-old woman was trying to cross Sandy Blvd at NE 91st Avenue last night at about 10:00 when an SUV-driver fatally struck and killed her, then fled the scene.

Portland police found the car, a 1993 Mercury Villager, ditched on 82nd Avenue and then arrested a suspect in the hit-and-run, 36-year-old Aaron Arrell. He's been charged with Hit and Run and Manslaughter in the First Degree.
