Driver faces preliminary hearing after woman’s hit-and-run death in Ocean Beach

SAN DIEGO – A judge has set a preliminary hearing for a driver accused of striking and killing a woman seated on a curb in Ocean Beach.

Evan M. Anderson, 24, pleaded not guilty to hit and run in a Nov. 4 traffic fatality at Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and Santa Monica Avenue.

A woman identified only as Tracy and who is 59 years old, was sitting on a curb next to her wheelchair around 5 p.m. when she was struck by a Toyota Tundra, allegedly being driven by Anderson.

The victim later died at a hospital.

Anderson appeared Dec. 4 before San Diego Superior Court Judge Marion Gaston, who confirmed the March 25 preliminary hearing and set a readiness conference for Jan. 27.

Anderson remains free on bond.
