A 19-year-old woman was killed early Sunday after she was struck by a vehicle while lying in the road on the south side, police said.
Selena Analicia Hernandez was lying in the southbound lane of travel in the 6900 block of South Alvernon Way, south of East Valencia Road, when she was struck by a 2007 Volkswagen Jetta, according to a news release from the Tucson Police Department.
The driver of the Jetta was traveling southbound on Alvernon and was looking at a second vehicle stopped in the northbound lane when he struck Hernandez, the release said.
The driver of the Jetta immediately stopped and called 911. The second vehicle left the scene before the police arrived at about 3:45 a.m.
Tucson Fire personnel provided medical treatment to Hernandez, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Speed does not appear to be a factor in the collision, the release said. The pedestrian was not in a crosswalk and no citations have been issued to the driver.
It is unclear whether the second vehicle was involved, or if its passengers knew the victim or were witnesses to the collision, according to the release.
Anyone with information should call 88-CRIME.
