A hit-and-run in south Sacramento killed a pedestrian after the victim was struck and dragged several blocks, according to the California Highway Patrol. The crash occurred shortly before 1 a.m. on Wednesday on Prentiss Drive near Burdette Drive and Houston Avenue, just off 47th Avenue and Stockton Boulevard. The CHP’s preliminary investigation indicates the vehicle was turning left onto Houston Avenue when it hit the person, and investigators believe the driver kept going while dragging the victim before leaving the scene.
