He struck 49-year-old Jessica Ferrino on Cove Trail and barreled into the Santa Ana riverbed at around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Investigators were only made aware of Ferrino’s death after her husband went looking for her.
“A resident came up to us and said his wife had gone for a walk on the green belt, and she had not yet come home,” said Sgt. Matt Sutter with the Anaheim Police Department.
Rangel was treated at a hospital and released before being booked into jail.
