Mother-of-eight Brenda Richardson from California died after her motorcycle was hit by a 2006 Lexus ES330 and was thrown at least 30 feet from her bike.
Brenda was rushed to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Two days later, Corona Police located the driver who hit Brenda’s motorcycle, leaving her dead.
The driver was identified as 85-year-old Tashiro Isa.
Brenda’s grieving husband, Rod Richardson tracked down the hit-and-run driver and the Police arrested the driver on Friday.
Corona Police Department Public Information Officer Chad Fountain told People: “The husband located the car.
It had been in a garage since the accident and the suspect pulled it out just prior to the husband finding the car.”
“The husband called us and we located the suspect.”
Rod stated that he visited the place where the accident occurred and when he returned back, he noticed an apartment complex nearby.
He saw the same Lexus that took his wife’s life in the apartment complex.
Rod told NBC Los Angeles: “My heart dropped when I looked over.”
Tashiro Isa was then arrested by the Police and the Police are still investigating the incident.
After Brenda’s tragic death, a GoFundMe was created to help cover her funeral expenses.
The GoFundMe page has raised over $16,000 so far.
The GoFundMe page read: ‘Please help during this tough time for expenses and funeral costs associated with the death of a mother by a hit and run.’
‘Brenda Jean Richardson was best known as “Pinky”, not only because she loves the color pink, but because she used her pinky as to wave at passing motorcycles.’
The page describes Brenda as the most loving mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, and co-worker.
The page says she was a beautiful soul who always made sure everyone she knew was cared for and knew they were loved.
