A mother of two was killed in a hit-and-run Saturday in South San Francisco.
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - An alleged hit-and-run driver accused of killing a South San Francisco mother nearly a decade ago has been arrested in Israel and extradited to the U.S., authorities said.
Maher Abdelal, 32, is accused of fleeing the scene after the November 2017 crash that killed 44-year-old Teresa Gonzales, a single mother of two.
After years on the run, federal and local investigators worked with Israeli law enforcement to locate and arrest Abdelal.
He was returned to the U.S. on July 14 and booked into the San Mateo County Jail. He faces charges including felony hit-and-run and vehicular manslaughter.
