A woman died Thursday night from a hit-and-run incident in central Fresno.

She has been identified as Altagracia Buenrostro, 51, of Fresno.

Around 7:15 p.m., Fresno police received a report of a woman lying in a gutter at the intersection of McKinley Avenue and First Street, Lt. Jennifer Horsford said.

When officers arrived, they found the woman in critical condition.

The victim was taken to Community Regional Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

Video from a surveillance camera showed a vehicle going east on McKinley when it struck the victim in the crosswalk, Horsford said.

Officers are searching for a better description of the suspect vehicle, she said.
