CHICAGO (CBS) – A driver struck and killed a 30-year-old woman following an argument on the city's South Side Wednesday evening.

Chicago police said the deadly incident was intentional.

It happened just before 6 p.m. in the 100 block of West 79th Street.

A witness saw the victim arguing with another unidentified person in a parking lot. That person then entered a black sedan and ran the woman over before fleeing the scene heading eastbound on 79th Street, police say. 

The victim suffered blunt force trauma to the head and body and was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition and was pronounced dead a short time later.  

No arrests were made.

Area 2 detectives were investigating.
