MONTEREY — A 19-year-old woman from North Carolina was killed in a hit-and-run collision on State Route 1 on Sunday, according to a news release from the California Highway Patrol. The woman was identified as Maddie Elizabeth Fletcher, a 19-year-old from Shelby, North Carolina, according to the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office.

The California Highway Patrol says one person is dead after a hit-and-run on Highway 1 in Monterey Sunday morning. A CHP spokesperson said that around 9:48 a.m., there were reports of a two-vehicle crash on northbound Highway 1 just past Aguajito Road.

The highway has been shut down since Hurricane Helene's floodwaters swept away extensive sections along the Pigeon River.

A 63-year-old woman, Patricia Mahoney of Southern Pines, North Carolina, died after driving around a barricade and off a hurricane-damaged stretch of Interstate 40 that had been severely eroded by Hurricane Helene.
