Phoenix police were investigating a hit-and-run that killed one woman near 27th Avenue and Jackson Street in Phoenix early Tuesday morning.
Officers were called to the area around 3:45 a.m. on Tuesday to reports of a woman down on the roadway, according to a Phoenix police statement.
When officers arrived, they found an unresponsive woman on the ground with obvious signs of trauma, Phoenix police spokesperson Sgt. Phil Krynsky said.
Witnesses told officers that the woman was struck by a four-door passenger vehicle that fled the area after the collision, Krynsky said.
The Phoenix Fire Department responded to treat the woman, but she was later pronounced dead at the scene.
The roadway remained closed as detectives continued to investigate.
No other information had been released.
