There was no information about a possible vehicle involved.
Some residents who live in the area said the intersection where the woman was stuck is dangerous, with drivers constantly speeding.
"It's almost every other week that I have seen an accident and when I don’t see it I see debris so I know an accident has happened," Traci Lynn said.

She said she used to walk her dog across the street all the time but doesn't anymore after she was almost hit.
"I stopped doing it, I stopped going across the road walking because there's no way, because they start flying and then the car was beeping at us after they were way down the road and we were running," said Lynn.
Multiple neighbors said they want to see a traffic light.
"Cars really are flying especially around 5 p.m.," said Estrella Cerqueira. "Probably a light would be the best thing honestly."
