A woman was struck by a car and killed on Market Street in University City Thursday morning, Philadelphia police said.

Emergency crews were called to 33rd and Market streets around 4 a.m. At the scene they found a woman who'd been hit, later identified as 48-year-old Meaza Brown of South Philadelphia. She was rushed to the hospital, where she later died.

Police say Brown was walking to work with a group of coworkers when she was hit by a silver Chrysler 300 sedan that ran a red light. No one else was struck.

The Chrysler did not stay at the scene and fled eastbound on Market Street.

Police say they've recovered the Chrysler involved in the hit-and-run at 34th and Race streets, but they're still looking for the driver.

Chopper 3 was over an impound lot, showing a Chrysler without a license plate and damage to its left front bumper. Police sources believe this is the car involved in the incident.

The car was registered to an address in the city. Police went to the home Thursday but did not find the driver.

The section of Market Street where the crash occurred cuts through Drexel University's campus and is two blocks from 30th Street Station.

Drexel students received an alert Thursday morning to avoid the intersection. Students who spoke with CBS News Philadelphia said they walk in the area every day and speeding continues to be an issue.

"I can tell you there's been so many close calls with me crossing the street with people not paying attention," Drexel student Noah Joffe said. "It's sad. I feel bad for that woman and her family, and my thoughts go out to them. The city needs to figure out a plan to help stop these accidents."
