NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — A 30-year-old woman was arrested for a hit-and-run which killed two people on Long Island, authorities said.

The two victims, 37-year-old Ryan Walker and 46-year-old Robert Kehlembeck, were working on a pick-up truck parked outside of Walker’s home at 5474 Express Drive South in Holtsville on Wednesday when they were struck by a vehicle just before 5:30 p.m., police said.

The alleged driver of the vehicle, Johanna Iovino of Lake Ronkonkoma, fled the scene, officials said.

Both victims were taken to Stony Brook University Hospital where Walker was pronounced dead and Kehlembeck later succumbed to his injuries.

Iovino was arrested Saturday and charged with leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death. She was held in jail overnight and arraigned Sunday.
