Police were trying Saturday to identify a woman who was fatally struck by a vehicle the night before in Southeast Washington.
The woman was standing on the sidewalk along the 2700 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE at 10:28 p.m. Friday when she crossed outside of a marked crosswalk and was struck by a passing Ford Explorer, police said in a news release. Emergency workers took the woman to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The driver stayed on the scene, passed a sobriety test and was not charged, added police spokeswoman Kristen Metzger.
