TORRANCE (CBSLA.com) — Authorities say a 68-year-old woman using a walker has died after being struck by a vehicle in Torrance.

The cause of the Monday night accident at Anza Avenue and Arvada Street was not known.

At the scene of the accident, no crosswalk was visible, Hopper said.

After the accident, witnesses said the driver stopped, got out of the vehicle and yelled for help.

"This was a complete and total accident," said Steven King, a witness. "The gal that hit the woman, she was beside herself with grief, and it was just terrible to see."

No charges were expected to be filed against the driver, police told Hopper.

The identity of the deceased was not released.
