TURLOCK (CBS13) — An 11-year-old was killed in a hit-and-run crash in Turlock Sunday evening.
The crash happened just before 5:30 p.m. at the intersection of Lander and Lindwood Avenues. Police say 25-year-old Josue Levya hit a man on a motorcycle before plowing into a Honda Civic with five people inside, including the 11-year-old girl.
