A woman on a curb, sitting next to her wheelchair, was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Ocean Beach on Tuesday, officials said.

Evan Anderson, 24, was driving a Toyota Tundra just before 5 p.m. Tuesday when he hit a 59-year-old woman at the intersection of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and Santa Monica Avenue, according to the San Diego Police Department.

Anderson fled the scene, investigators said, and the woman, who officials have not yet identified, was taken to the hospital, where she later died.

People in the neighborhood say the homeless woman was known as Tracy.

“I feel bad for her,” said Phil Cenedella with the OB Community Foundation, adding that he got to know Tracy three months ago when the group focused its efforts on helping the homeless. “I feel like we didn’t succeed on the task force because those are the people we are trying to help.”

Twenty years ago, Tracy was a volunteer who served meals at the homeless shelter, according to Cenedella.

“She talked and was cognizant,” Cenedella said. She knew what was going on. She was very abrasive at times to me and others.”

Tracy fell on hard times. Cenedella says her RV was towed from the lifeguard station parking lot five months ago.

A photo is circulating on an OB neighborhood watch site and was taken minutes before she was killed. It shows her next to her wheelchair on the Santa Monica Avenue sidewalk. Neighbor Forest Lafave thought she had passed out and asked if she was OK.

“I touched her and said, ‘Are you alright?’ She said, ‘I just wanted to see my daughter’ and started screaming, yelling, kind of,” Lafave said.

Lafave continued down the street. Witnesses say moments later, Tracy was crushed beneath the wheel of the black pickup next to her in the photo.

The smoke shop manager saw the whole thing and says he confronted the driver who abandoned his truck and ran west down the street.

Anderson returned to the scene. He was charged with hit-and-run resulting in serious injury or death, according to police.

The community is planning a memorial for Tracy at the Ocean Beach Veteran’s Plaza next Wednesday at 5 p.m.
