CINCINNATI — The Hamilton County Coroner's Office has released the identity of the woman who was killed over the weekend in a West Price Hill hit-and-run crash.
Around 9:30 p.m. Saturday, a 33-year-old woman attempted to cross Glenway Avenue in a marked crosswalk "against the light" when she was struck by an unknown vehicle traveling northbound through a green light, police said.
The unknown vehicle fled the scene following the crash, police said.
The woman was transported to UC Medical Center where she died from her injuries, police said.
The coroner's office identified her as Kymberly Maclary.
Both dogs were also killed in the crash, according to police.
"I would hate for someone who is just so close to someone to lose a daughter a mother -- even though it happens so much every day, it doesn't make it easier for them," West Side resident Dani Slaven said.
Slaven walks Glenway Avenue almost daily and said she feels drivers tend to treat the road as a freeway.
"We expect that if we walk out the same thing (like what happened to Maclary) will happen to us," Slaven said.
Tyler Neldrett, who works just north of where Maclary was hit, shares those concerns.
"All day long you hear people slamming on their horn, you see people flying by," Neldrett said. "It's very jarring. Just walking up to the corner store you gotta pick what times you want to do it or else, you know, risk being in danger as silly as that sounds."
Despite Saturday's deadly hit-and-run, city data indicates the street is getting safer.
The city reduced the number of lanes on a two-mile stretch of Glenway Avenue in West Price Hill in April, between Beech Avenue and Shirley Place, which has historically had a significant number of traffic crashes and been on the city’s “high crash network.”
Data shows there were about half the number of traffic crashes on that stretch of Glenway Ave between April and August compared to the same time last year.
WCPO reached out to Cincinnati's Department of Transportation and Engineering for comment on Saturday's incident but they declined to comment pending the active police investigation.
"I don't think it'll ever truly be enough," Slaven said. "When you live in such a big world with so many people, you're not going to fix everything. And that's the sad part."
Excessive speed and impairment are being investigated as contributing factors in Saturday's crash, police said.
Police on scene said they have a description of the vehicle involved, which they have not released to the public, and are actively searching for it.
