When officers arrived, fire and AMR were already on scene and the pedestrian had been declared deceased by medical personnel. The driver of the vehicle on scene was travelling Westbound on Amarillo boulevard in the far-left lane. He changed lanes into the turning lane and then felt his vehicle drive over something. He stopped, saw the female victim in the street and immediately called 911. While officers were investigating, they found evidence of another vehicle, a white car, on scene.
