Surveillance video shows her crossing the street pushing a cart when she is struck.
Police say the woman died on the scene.
Neighbor Anthony Cozzloino saw the crash on his surveillance camera.
"Saw a car coming in the opposite direction and thought that they would be able to make it, and kinda like did a hesitation, and unfortunately, the driver just basically sped through the person," he said. "It's terrible. People speed all the time."
The driver sped off in a black sedan.
Since Monday, three people have been killed by hit-and-run drivers in the city. No arrests have been made in any of the cases.
