A woman has been arrested after allegedly running over and killing a man and his dog while they were out for a walk in a hit-and-run incident while fleeing at high speed from another hit-and-run incident she had reportedly committed only moments earlier.
The incident occurred on the evening of Sunday, April 25, shortly before 8 p.m. in Sandy Springs, Georgia, when police responded to a hit-and-run incident involving a pedestrian.
