The driver who hit her remained at the scene.
At about 3:30 a.m. Saturday morning, a driver heading north on Route 29 approaching Rivers Edge Road in Columbia, Maryland, struck and killed a woman in the roadway.

The cyclist was hit by the intersection of Ashburn Farm Parkway and Farmingdale Drive in Ashburn, Virginia, around 1:15 a.m. Saturday morning.
The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said that a resident heard a loud noise before finding the male victim. The striking vehicle left the scene, according to authorities, and said the suspect vehicle possibly has damage to its windshield and hood.
