Authorities have identified the woman who died after being hit by a car that crashed into a laundromat in Manhattan Beach on Tuesday evening.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner identified her on Wednesday as 61-year-old Ana Amaral Moreira.
According to the Manhattan Police Department, Moreira was doing her laundry when another woman drove a black SUV into Suds & Duds Coin-Op Laundry on Aviation Boulevard near 10th Street just after 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
Video from the scene showed the glass in front of the business had shattered, and a support beam had been damaged.
Investigators were working to determine why the driver, who was not hurt, accelerated instead of braking. She was cooperating with the ongoing investigation, the MBPD said.
Police said Tuesday alcohol was not believed to be a factor.
