Johannesburg - A female motorist was arrested at her home after allegedly killing a pedestrian and fleeing the scene, Johannesburg metro police said on Sunday.
"[The JMPD] arrested a 24-year-old woman at her home in Radiokop last night, after she bumped and killed a male pedestrian along Northumberland Road in North Riding at about 21:30," said Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar.
