A person was found lying injured in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York Saturday morning.
Investigators were called to the scene around 4:30 a.m. They say when they arrived, the woman, who was in her 40s, was found with serious injuries to her head.
She was taken to Brookdale Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Police say they are investigating the incident as a possible hit-and-run, but there was no car around at the scene, so they are not saying exactly what happened to her.
No details have been released about a possible vehicle or driver that may have been involved.
