The unfortunate event occurred on Sunday evening around 8:30 p.m. when she exited a bus at Pine Valley Drive and Major Mackenzie. She was walking on the northbound shoulder of Pine Valley Drive when the incident took place. The driver responsible fled the scene, leaving the woman with severe injuries. Her lifeless body was discovered by a passerby on Tuesday afternoon just before 3 p.m., after a 48-hour delay, due to the area's relative isolation. Police have not disclosed her name, stating she had not been reported missing. Chief among their requests is for the driver to come forward, pointing out that the injuries suggest the driver would have been aware of the collision. They have also called on auto repair shops to be vigilant for a vehicle showing signs of damage consistent with hitting a pedestrian. Anyone with relevant information, including dashcam footage, is urged to come forward to police or Crime Stoppers.",
