RICHMOND, Va. — The Richmond Police Department Crash Team has identified the woman killed by a hit-and-run driver while she was walking across West Main Street earlier this month.
“At approximately 10:50 p.m. on Wednesday, February 5, officers were called to the 2600 block of West Main Street for the report of a collision,” a Richmond Police spokesperson said. “Officers arrived and found an adult female, Ruthanne Berry, 52, of Richmond, down and unresponsive. She was transported to a local hospital with injuries that were considered to be life-threatening. Berry succumbed to her injuries the following day.”
Investigators revealed that Berry was walking southbound on North Robinson Street and attempted to cross West Main Street in a crosswalk when she was struck by a dark-colored car.
The driver of the vehicle failed to stop and continued driving westbound on West Main Street.
