The Minnesota State Patrol says that on Sunday, February 6, a 65-year-old Oakdale woman was walking on the southbound shoulder of Highway 120 in Maplewood when she was hit at around 7:43 p.m.

The woman was south of 5th Street when the hit-and-run occurred. She was then taken to Regions Hospital where was pronounced dead.
