Georgia Woman Killed in Hit-and-Run Crash on Highway 166 Near Santa Maria

Santa Maria, CA (May 6, 2025) — 22-year-old Aida Negahdar from Georgia lost her life Sunday night after a hit-and-run crash on Highway 166 between Santa Maria and Guadalupe.

Emergency crews responded around 8 p.m. to West Main Street near Bonita School Road after reports of a pedestrian collision. Investigators said the woman, later identified as Negahdar, was walking in the area when an unknown vehicle struck her.

The driver fled before first responders arrived at the scene. Negahdar suffered fatal injuries in the crash.

California Highway Patrol officers continue searching for the vehicle and driver involved. Authorities are asking anyone who witnessed the collision or has dashcam or surveillance footage from the area around the time of the incident to come forward.

Officials also reminded motorists to stay alert for pedestrians, especially at night when visibility is limited.

Sweet Lawyers extends sincere condolences to the family and friends of Aida Negahdar during this painful time. We hope loved ones find strength and support as the investigation continues.

When a Fatal Accident Changes Everything

Losing someone you love in a crash is one of the hardest things anyone can go through. Beyond the deep emotional pain, families are often left facing sudden financial challenges — from medical bills and funeral costs to the loss of income that once helped keep everything together.

During times like these, it’s important to know that you don’t have to face it all alone. A wrongful death claim can help bring a measure of justice and financial relief to families dealing with unimaginable loss.

This kind of claim not only helps cover expenses but also holds the responsible party accountable — whether the crash was caused by distracted driving, speeding, or another act of negligence. It’s a way to stand up for your loved one and make sure their story is heard.

Financial compensation can help ease some of the burden by covering:

Funeral and burial costs
Medical expenses from the victim’s final care
Lost wages and future earnings
Emotional loss and companionship

While no amount of money can ever replace someone you love, pursuing justice can bring a sense of closure and help prevent similar tragedies from happening to others.
