A 46-year-old woman was struck and killed by a hit and run driver Saturday morning in northwest Baltimore.

Authorities said around 7:30 a.m. officers responded to the 3300 block of W. Northern Parkway for a report of a pedestrian hit by a vehicle.

When officers arrived, they found a woman, later identified as Tammy Sherill Aversa of the 5600 block of Winner Avenue. She was taken to Sinai hospital where she later died.

An investigation found Aversa was walking west on Northern Parkway when she was struck by a hit and run driver. Police believe she may have been hit an hour before being found.

Investigators are looking for a 2001 to 2007 Ford Taurus or Mercury Sable.
