Female Hit And Killed While Crossing Highway 99 In Sacramento

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - Highway 99 in Sacramento  is back open following a deadly crash investigation on the freeway.

Around 3:30 a.m. police received the call of an accident just before Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. A female was crossing the freeway for unknown reasons when she was hit. She was hit again while lying on the ground, according to a statement from the South Sacramento CHP office. Both drivers stayed on the scene.
