DALLAS, TX – Police say they have now arrested two suspects in connection with a fatal hit-and-run crash in Far East Dallas last month, the Dallas Morning News reports.

This is an update to a previous story.

The incident occurred Nov. 26 on Ferguson Road near Highwood Drive in the Casa View neighborhood at approximately 2:30 p.m.  Investigators said 73-year-old Linda Pearson was walking her dog in an area where two cars, a Chevrolet Impala and a Chevrolet Camaro, were street racing.

Pearson and her dog were struck and killed by the Impala, and both drivers fled the scene without stopping.
