About 11:30 p.m. Thursday, first responders rushed onto the sand near a Cirque du Soleil Kooza set up on the beach to try to free a person trapped under a silver SUV, according to KABC.
A 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after allegedly driving over and killing a woman on the beach near the Santa Monica Pier, police said. Driver YuYang Sun, of Arcadia, is believed to have run over the woman while driving in circles at high speeds in a 2015 Infiniti SUV, about 11:30 p.m. Thursday, the Santa Monica Police Department said in a news release.
Video showed firefighters digging under the SUV while others stood nearby with wood blocks that could be used to help dislodge a vehicle stuck in the sand. Firefighters tried to reach the woman and provide help, but she died at the scene. The vehicle was later lifted with equipment from the Santa Monica Fire Department and the woman's body was removed, according to authorities.
