VICTORVILLE (May 14, 2020) – An alleged DUI hit-and-run driver killed a pedestrian in a crash along Seventh Street on Wednesday night.
Authorities determined that 38-year-old Alaina Swain was under the influence of alcohol when the fatal May 13 accident occurred shortly after 9:30 p.m.
According to reports by Victor Valley News and The Daily Press, the incident began when Swain was driving a tan Chevrolet Tahoe north on 7th Street.
