A woman who allegedly struck and killed a bicyclist in Whittier in
2017 and then fled the country for Hong Kong, and then Australia,
arrived back in the U.S. Thursday after a yearlong extradition process.
Andrea Dorothy Chan Reyes was allegedly behind the wheel of a white
Lexus sedan that struck Agustin Rodriguez Jr. while he was biking in the
area of Calmada Avenue and Flomar Drive on Jan. 30, 2017, according to
Laura Eimiller of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office. Rodriguez, 46, was
dragged “under the car for a long distance,” Eimiller said. He died at
the scene of multiple blunt force injuries, according to the coroner’s
office.
Authorities found the Lexus in a residential garage in Idaho,
according to Eimiller, who added that additional information was found
in Nevada.
Reyes fled the U.S. and was living in Hong Kong when the FBI
obtained an international arrest warrant, Eimiller said. As the
investigation continued, the FBI found that Reyes was living in
Australia, and with cooperation from law enforcement in that country,
she was taken into custody.
The date of her arrest was not released.
