Detectives are investigating after a woman was run over and killed by a driver in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood Tuesday morning.

According to the Seattle Police Department (SPD), the incident happened near an apartment building at the intersection of Boylston Avenue East and Lakeview Boulevard East at around 6:30 a.m.

Police and Seattle Fire Department crews responded to the scene and transported the 49-year-old woman to Harborview Medical Center, where she later died.

The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with police. The SPD said a Drug Recognition Expert evaluated her and found no signs of impairment.
