Pittsburgh police have found the driver of a vehicle believed to have struck and killed a woman early Thursday in a hit-and-run crash in Oakland.

The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim as Jessie Maroney, 37, of South Park.

Police said Maroney was crossing Darragh Street in a crosswalk about 5:45 a.m. when a truck hit her.

First responders rushed the victim to UPMC Presbyterian hospital, where she died at 6:35 a.m.

Police later found the vehicle involved — a white box truck — and then the driver, who they said is cooperating with the investigation.
