Campbell was jogging across the road in front of the SUV when she was struck by the front passenger side of the vehicle, whose driver stopped at the scene, BSO officials said.

Tamarac Fire Rescue responded and rushed Campbell to Broward Health Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.

"Detectives say the location where Campbell was struck was outside of a designated pedestrian crosswalk and eastbound traffic had a green light," BSO said in a statement Wednesday. "Neither excessive speed nor impairment of the driver are considered contributing factors to the cause of the crash."

The incident remains under investigation.
