Updated 3:30 p.m., Monday.

A woman was struck and killed around 5:50 a.m. on Lee Burbank Highway by a motorist who then drove away, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

Jon Ravida, 47, of East Boston, was arrested by Revere and State Police today, according to the DA's office.

Evidence shows Sothany Pen, 22, was crossing the road east to west when hit by Ravida's Ford Explorer, the DA's office says, adding she was declared dead at Mass. General.

On Sunday, a Chelsea man was also hit and killed by a car whose driver fled, the DA's office adds. That incident happened on Rte. 16 around 12:30 a.m.

Innocent, etc.

Never heard 1A called that

I checked Google Maps out of curiosity (http://g.co/maps/j4qc). It looks like there's a tiny stretch of road bisected by "William F McClennan Highway" that is called "Lee Burbank Highway". Anybody know the back story to this?
