A 17-old-girl found dead on the side of a road in Antioch last week was the victim of a hit-and-run collision, Antioch police said.

Jeana Flores was found about 3:30 p.m. Friday in the area of L Street between West 18th Street and West 10th Street. The location is near Antioch High School, but Flores is not a student in the Antioch Unified School District, according to police.

An autopsy by the Contra Costa County Coroner’s office determined that Flores was hit by a vehicle. The Antioch Police Department’s Traffic Safety Unit will take over the investigation, police said.

Anyone with information related to the collision is asked to contact Antioch Police
