A witness told investigators that a white sedan -- possibly a Toyota -- was going northbound on Broad Street, just past Lehigh Avenue, when the car struck the woman as she crossed the street. "After striking the female, the white vehicle stopped and pulled over," Small said."But after a few seconds then pulled off and fled from the scene northbound on Broad Street."
Police found a large piece of plastic near the woman's body that investigators believe is part of the undercarriage of the striking car.
