(CBS DETROIT) - Police are looking for a driver in connection with a hit-and-run incident that killed a 62-year-old woman Tuesday on M-39 (Southfield Freeway).

In a preliminary investigation, Michigan State Police say a witness reported that a woman partially clothed was dancing in the southbound lanes near Ford Road. Police then received calls that the woman was unresponsive.
