HENRICO COUNTY, Va. β A woman was hit by a car and killed when she attempted to cross Patterson Avenue, not far from Gaskins Road, in the West End of Henrico, according to police.
The deceased was identified as Alexandria Current, 25, of Oklahoma.
"Current, and another adult male, attempted to cross the westbound lanes of Patterson Avenue ahead of a Nissan Altima also traveling westbound. The male avoided being hit, but Ms. Current was struck by the vehicle," a Henrico police spokesperson wrote in an email about the incident. "The driver of the Nissan remained on scene and is cooperating with the investigation. Alcohol, drugs and speed are not believed to be factors in this crash on behalf of the driver or the pedestrians."
The crash was reported near the intersection of Patterson Avenue and Westhampton Glen Drive, at about 11:55 p.m.
Police said dark clothing, low lighting and not crossing at a crosswalk likely contributed to the crash.
