OAKLAND — A woman was fatally struck and a four-year-old girl injured after a hit-and-run collision late Tuesday morning, authorities said.

In statements Tuesday, police said they responded at 11:19 a.m. to the intersection of 22nd Avenue and Foothill Boulevard for a report of a collision involving two people and a vehicle. When officers arrived, they found the woman and girl in southbound lanes of 22nd near the crosswalk.

Investigators believe the two were walking westbound along Foothill in a marked crosswalk when a vehicle driving southbound on 22nd struck them. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The girl was taken to an area hospital and was listed in stable condition.

The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office coroner’s bureau identified the woman Tuesday afternoon as Huong Thi Truong, 45, of Oakland.

Tweets from a reporter with KGO-TV, a partner of this news organization, said Truong was a mother of two who had been walking her niece home from a nearby pre-school.

Traffic investigators initially spoke with a driver who had stopped at the scene and provided help, but police now believe that person was not involved in the collision.

East Oakland and the Foothill Boulevard corridor in particular have seen more than their share of tragedy in the last year, with child crossing guards receiving commendations earlier this year after a near-miss incident in December.

But the memory of a fatal April hit-and-run collision only blocks away at 26th Avenue and Foothill is still fresh for residents, law enforcement and city staff who pledged action to prevent accidents like this.

Oakland Unified School District spokesman John Sasaki said the collision investigation had not affected the school day at Garfield Elementary School’s campus just a block away.

“We don’t know if the victims of the crash are connected to our schools, but we are working on finding out,” Sasaki said in a statement Tuesday.

In a so-far-unrelated separate incident, Oakland police tweeted just after 8:40 a.m. Tuesday that officers responding to 20th Avenue and International Boulevard had taken into custody a driver fleeing on foot after hitting a parked vehicle.
