Investigators on Sunday arrested a 36-year-old man suspected of driving under the influence when he allegedly struck and killed a pedestrian in a hit-and-run crash last week, authorities said.
The California Highway Patrol identified the suspect as Fallbrook resident Pascual Domingo Pascual Cristobal. The agency initially identified him as Pasqual.
Investigators arrested him Sunday night on suspicion of three felony charges, including gross vehicular manslaughter, hit-and-run causing death and driving under the influence causing death. Jail records showed he remained behind bars Monday at the Vista Detention Facility in lieu of $100,000 bail.
According to authorities, Pascual was behind the wheel of a dark pickup that veered off the roadway and struck a 60-year-old woman as she walked with her husband Thursday evening along Gird Road near Laketree Drive, just blocks from their home.
