A woman who was struck and killed Thursday on a highway just north of the U.S.-Mexico border, has been identified as Angelica M. Borjas.
California Highway Patrol officers are searching for the driver who fled the scene.
The victim, a 42-year-old from San Diego, crashed a vehicle in the center median of eastbound State Route 905, west of Britannia Boulevard at 5:40 a.m., CHP officers said.
When an NBC 7 news crew arrived, a white pickup was facing the wrong way in the eastbound lanes of the highway.
Around the same time, people also called in to CHP reporting a body in the slow lane of 905 EB just before La Media.
CHP officers found a woman's body approximately a mile or so away from the truck.
The woman's wallet found nearby matched the registration on the truck.
