The crash was reported at 11:22 p.m. Sunday near Rooks and Rose Hills roads, according to Deputy Michael Chen of the Sheriff's Information Bureau.

Three women were walking southbound on Rooks near the 605 freeway after a concert when the crash occurred, Chen said. Investigators say they were walking on the curb of the two-lane road.

Yesenia Sanchez, 36, of Los Angeles died at the scene, the Los Angeles County coroner's office reported. The hospitalized woman had stable vital signs and the third woman was not injured.

The surviving woman was not able to provide a vehicle description, Chen said. 

Investigators are still looking for the driver of the vehicle and have not released any suspect information at this point.
