There have now been four pedestrians killed in collisions with moving cars in the Twin Cities in the first week of the new year.
The latest happened Saturday night in Inver Grove Heights, and police say the driver of the car that collided with a 55-year-old woman turned herself in.
She died at the scene at the intersection of 80th street and Blaine Avenue in Inver Grove Heights.
The Inver Grove Heights Police Department says a 30-year-old woman turned herself in Sunday after seeing a social media post about the crash.
The woman was booked and released to her attorney while police continue investigating. Police say the victim was found by a passer-by who flagged down an officer Saturday night. Responders tried to revive the victim, but she died.
This comes less than 24 hours after a 19-year-old woman was struck by a moving car in St. Paul.
Police Zarah Mohamed died, and 22-year-old Hanah Farah suffered several non-life threatening injures in the same collision
Police say the driver of the SUV was cooperative, but the investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made.
"It's dark, it stay dark for a long period of time, it gets dark early, it gets dark in the morning hours," Steve Linders of the St. Paul police department said. "We need to look out for one another. We're doing our part trying to educate people."
Last Thursday, a man and a woman died following a collision with a car in Roseville.
