Alfonso Garnica-Mozgueda, 33 is facing a hit and run murder charge after crashing into two women standing at the side of a road in Van Nuys and fleeing the scene.

Mozgueda apparently lost control of his car and crashed into Christina Lynn Ruvalcaba, 39, who suffered major injuries and died at the hospital shortly after the crash and her sister, 34-year-old Blanca Ruvalcaba, who was thrown several feet and was hospitalized with moderate injuries.

Mozgueda left his car and ran away on foot. The police later arrested him at his home.

He is being held in Van Nuys Jail on a $1.1 million bail for suspicion of murder and two outstanding warrants.
