KENNEWICK, Wash. – A woman was left dead after witnesses say she was struck and run over by a car on a Kennewick roadway, according to the Kennewick Police Department.
The hit and run happened around 12:15 a.m. on November 1 near West Canal Drive and North Lyle Street, according to the department.
The department said the woman was likely hit by a car and left on the road and that the car did not stop or call 911.
