San Luis Obispo police say they responded to the parking lot of Conserv Fuel on Santa Rosa Street at around 3 p.m. Saturday to reports of a 62-year-old woman being hit by a car.
Police said the driver reportedly left the scene.
California Highway Patrol officers reportedly spotted the suspected driver heading northbound on Highway 101. Police say Joseph Perez, 36, was booked into the San Luis Obispo County Jail on suspicion of hit-and-run, a probation violation, and driving on a suspended license.
