Making the scene Photo courtesy Santa Monica Fire Department Police have identified the driver involved in an accident on Tuesday at the corner of Berkeley Street and Broadway (being attended to by emergency responders) as 24-year-old Isabel Sotelo. According to the LAPD, officers pursued Sotelo from Santa Monica Boulevard and Butler Avenue in West Los Angeles for fleeing the scene of an earlier accident. Sotelo suffered minor injuries when she collided with an SUV and then a stop sign, and was transported to UCLA-Westwood Medical Center. She has since been discharged and booked on felony hit-and-run charges.
