The Elk Grove Police Department has been investigating a hit-and-run collision that occurred on October 10, 2025, which later resulted in the death an 80-year-old Elk Grove woman. The victim was hit by a vehicle while walking in a residential neighborhood and later passed away from complications related to her injuries. Detectives have identified a suspect and are pursuing additional charges as the investigation continues.
On October 10, 2025, around 4:40 p.m., 80-year-old Ngub Chan was walking across Splendor Lane at the intersection of Lilypad Lane when she was struck by a 2007 Chevrolet Impala. The driver fled the scene without checking on Chan or reporting the collision. Chan suffered multiple broken bones and was treated at a local hospital.
Video surveillance from the neighborhood captured the collision. Twelve days later, Elk Grove Police Traffic Detectives located the suspect vehicle driving in Sacramento and contacted the driver, a 57-year-old Elk Grove man.
Through additional investigative efforts, detectives identified the 57-year-old man as the driver of the Impala involved in the collision with Chan. Investigators submitted the case to the District Attorney’s Office requesting an arrest warrant for felony Hit and Run (Vehicle Code 20001(b)(2)).
Chan had been in and out of the hospital since the collision. On November 21, 2025, detectives were notified that Chan had passed away due to complications related to her injuries sustained from the collision.
With Chan’s passing, Traffic Detectives are amending the case submitted to the District Attorney’s Office to include Vehicular Manslaughter (Penal Code 192(c)(2)), along with the original felony hit and run charge.
Due to the active investigation and pending arrest warrant, the suspect’s name is not being released at this time.
