NEW LOTS — A MINIVAN RAN OVER a woman lying in the road in New Lots on Wednesday, Nov. 20, around 6:09 p.m., sending the unidentified woman, who was later pronounced deceased, and the three occupants of the van to various hospitals. Police said they were alerted of a pedestrian struck at Pennsylvania Avenue, approximately 48 feet north of Riverdale Avenue. When they arrived on the scene, officers observed the woman with injuries to her head and torso lying in the roadway. 

EMS transported her to Brookdale Hospital and Medical Center, where she was pronounced deceased.

The 33-year-old male driver remained on the scene, police said.
