CORRECTION: A previous version of this story incorrectly reported the victim had been in a car.
Police said a woman was killed early Monday in a crash in central Fresno that appears to have been a hit-and-run.
Police went to Ashlan Avenue between Maroa and College avenues about 4:15 a.m. after a call to 911 and found a woman in her late 20s who had been hit by a vehicle, according to Sgt. Diana Trueba Vega.
UPDATE: Coroner identifies victim
Officers attempted life-saving measures, police said, but the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
The car that left the area would have had substantial damage, but no description was immediately available Monday, police said. Officers are looking for surveillance video and witnesses, police said.
