MILWAUKEE, WI — A 48-year-old woman was fatally hit by a vehicle whose driver fled the scene early Saturday in Milwaukee’s Menomonee Valley area, according to WISN.
The fatal incident occurred at the intersection of Potawatomi Circle and Canal Street, just west of Potawatomi Casino Hotel, at about 1:45 a.m.
An early investigation shows the female pedestrian was traveling on foot when she was struck by an unknown vehicle. By the time first responders arrived in the area, the driver had left without stopping to render aid.
