A 48-year-old man is facing charges in connection with a fatal crash Sunday night involving a pedestrian, authorities say.

Martin Lopez was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and failure to render aid after investigators say he struck a pedestrian about 10:30 p.m. along West Valencia Road near Casino Del Sol, the Pima County Sheriff's Department said in a news release.

The unidentified pedestrian was apparently walking along Valencia when struck by a 2010 Ford Focus and possibly a second car, the release said.

Lopez continued driving before calling 911, the release said.

The crash still is being investigated.
