Woman, 64, Hit And Killed By Car In Burnsville

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A woman is dead after a car hit her in the south metro Tuesday evening.

Just before 5 p.m., police received report of a woman, appearing to need help, walking in the street near the 1400 block of McAndrews Road East.

An officer arrived in the area just after 5 p.m. A motorist flagged the officer down and told the officer about a crash near McAndrews and Echo Park Lane.

At the scene of the crash, the officer discovered a 64-year-old woman that had been struck by a car. The woman, later identifed as Mai Thi Dang, was pronounced dead at the scene. She lived just a few block south of the accident scene.

The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with authorities. Drugs and alcohol do not appear to be a factor in the crash, police said.

Investigators wouldn't yet say if there were any other injuries.

Police said there are no marked crosswalks at the intersection where the crash occurred.
