A woman died after she was struck by a vehicle Tuesday night while crossing Tudor Road, Anchorage police said.
A Jeep was eastbound on Tudor Road in the right lane just before 8:30 p.m. when it struck a woman near Tudor’s intersection with Wright Street, police wrote in an online statement. She was not in a crosswalk, police said.
The woman was taken to a hospital and has since died, police said Wednesday afternoon. Her name was not immediately released.
The Jeep driver stayed on scene, and police said she was cooperative. No charges have been filed, police said.
The cause of the crash remained under investigation Wednesday, police said.
The woman was the seventh pedestrian to be killed by a vehicle in Anchorage this year and the fourth to die in September. A woman died after she was struck in South Anchorage last week, and two women died Sept. 19 when an SUV struck them on A Street. There were five pedestrian fatalities by this time last year, police said.
Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated how many pedestrians were fatally struck by vehicles this year. The Anchorage Police Department sent a correction Thursday noting that seven pedestrians have died, not eight.
