WATCH: Fox 4's Eric Lovelace spoke to neighbors grieving this loss:
According to police, just before 9 p.m., officers found a woman with a faint pulse. She died after being sent to Gulf Coast Hospital, according to the police department.
Investigators believe the driver was on Tower Drive approaching Santa Rosa Court when they hit the person who was walking her dog at the time, in the eastbound lane.
Police said the vehicle involved was still on scene, with an open Bud Light in the driver's cup holder.
A witness, who was walking with the victim at the time of the crash, said they were walking with a flashlight. Following the crash, the witness identified the truck and pointed out the driver, which they said was Pereira.
According to police, the witness said they could smell alcohol on the driver's breath.
Officers arrested Pereira, and said he refused to take a breath test. He also was driving a van that he did not own, police said.
Pereira was not supposed to be behind the wheel. Investigators found that his license was suspended for another DUI back in May.
This is the 14th deadly crash in Cape Coral this year, and three of them are DUI-related.
