An investigation is underway, police said, after a woman was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver shortly after she stepped out of a ride share vehicle in Philly’s Elmwood Park section early Monday. According to police, the incident happened at about 3:19 a.m. shortly after a 29-year-old woman was dropped off by an Uber driver in the area of the 7200 block of Elmwood Avenue. As the woman exited the vehicle and walked into the roadway to cross Elmwood Avenue, officials said, she was struck by a speeding vehicle headed eastbound. Following the crash, the woman was taken to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced at about 4:05 a.m., officials said. In fact, according to a police representative who spoke to NBC10’s Lili Zheng, the driver of the vehicle that struck the woman was going so fast at the time, that investigators did not initially have a detailed description of it. Instead, they only know it was a black vehicle. However, investigators said several businesses in the area had surveillance cameras and, as of about 5:30 a.m., police were reviewing footage for more information. An investigation into this incident is ongoing. This is a breaking news story. It will be updated as new information becomes available. ...read more read less
