A 57-year-old woman has been arrested in Inglewood on suspicion of fleeing an accident that injured a pregnant pedestrian, possibly triggering the death of her fetus.
Brittney Cheeseman, 18, was walking in an intersection at Manchester Boulevard and Market Street about 10:30 p.m. Saturday when she was struck by a vehicle described as a 1996 grey Nissan.
The Nissan's driver was traveling east on Manchester and failed to stop at a red light, witnesses told police.
Cheeseman was taken to a hospital with nonthreatening injuries, said Officer Jonathan Rivers of the Inglewood Police Department. But her 5- or 6-month-old fetus was unresponsive and showed no signs of life, doctors said.
