A Southern California driver is accused of a fatal hit-and-run and another crash that allegedly killed a bicyclist and two others. Video evidence allegedly linked the suspect to the crashes.

A 24-year-old Southern California resident was arrested Wednesday following two deadly collisions just months apart.

Ahkeyajahnique Owens, 24, was free on bail after she allegedly hit and killed a bicyclist Oct. 6 in Long Beach when she allegedly hit and killed two people in another car in a January hit-and-run, the Long Beach Police Department said.

In the Jan. 4 crash, Owens allegedly killed Gilberto Lopez, 21, and Bobbi Smith, 24, and injured three others.

Owens turned herself into Long Beach police Wednesday, and she was booked on $200,000 bail.

The department didn’t say how much her bail was after the first crash.

She was charged with felony vehicular manslaughter in the October crash.

She will likely face additional charges after an investigation into the January crash when the case is presented to the District Attorney’s Office next week.

Owens has been linked to both crashes through video and forensic evidence, police said.

Police have not yet detailed the causes of the crashes.
