It is being reported that 38-year-old Patricia Ann Izquieta of Riverside has recently been convicted of a hit and run that left a bicyclist dead.
Izquieta was said to be under the influence of prescription drugs, including methadone and clonazepam, while driving her Saturn SUV IN Newport Beach.
Reports say that she struck 49-year-old Donald Murphy from behind who had been bicycling with his friends. After striking Murphy, Izquieta fled, dragging the bicycle for a mile before she finally stopped in a parking lot.
Murphy later died from injuries related to the accident, including a severe neck injury.
