Beloved grandmother killed in hit-and-run crash while walking dogs in North Hills

Adriana Sanchez, 50, was walking her two dogs, Rocky and Charlie, around 6 a.m. Monday when she was struck and killed by a car at Burnett Avenue and Rayen Street. She was in a marked crosswalk when she was hit."I think it's really inhumane what happened... You just ripped somebody away, you ripped a mother away, you ripped a grandmother away from her whole family.

After they were hit, her two traumatized dogs ran back home. Rocky suffered a cut near his eye and was left with tire marks on his hind leg.Her daughter says she loved to hike and dance, but her true love was her family. "My mom was so loved. She was such a free spirit... She was the greatest grandma in the world. She loved my kids. So it's really heartbreaking to see somebody just rip all that away in a matter of seconds," Hidalgo said.However, Rayen and Burnett is a very busy intersection so Sanchez's family is certain there were witnesses.

"I know somebody saw something, somebody knows something. Just please come forward, any information - anything you saw, anything helps. We want justice for her. We want this person to be caught," her daughter said. Anybody with information is urged to contact detectives with the Los Angeles Police Department at 644-8114 or 644-8033.
