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. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Following the crash, the woman was taken to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced at about 4:05 a.m., officials said.<\/p>\n

In fact, according to a police representative who spoke to NBC10’s Lili Zheng<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

Instead, they only know it was a black vehicle. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

An investigation into this incident is ongoing. <\/p>\n

This is a breaking news story. It will be updated as new information becomes available. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An investigation is underway, police said, after a woman was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver shortly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":252784,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[69,71,70,2653],"class_list":["post-252783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-southwest-philadelphia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252783"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252783\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
