An 82-year-old motorist was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after his vehicle struck and killed a pedestrian in Willowbrook on Friday night, authorities said.

Willie Crenshaw of Los Angeles was driving west on West El Segundo Boulevard, near Main Street, when his 1997 Ford sport utility vehicle hit a 65-year-old woman trying to walk across the street around 8:30 p.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.
