A woman is dead after being struck by an SUV while crossing the street early Wednesday morning in Charlotte.
It happened near the 8100 block of University City Boulevard around 1:30 a.m., according to 
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police.
Investigators closed University City Blvd eastbound from Chancellor Park Drive to Shopping Center Drive until 4:30 a.m. as CMPD’s Major Crash Investigation Unit processed the scene.
Police say the victim appeared to be a woman on her way home from work. The driver of the SUV that hit her will not be facing charges since he was not speeding and was going through a green light at the time of the fatal crash.
Recent studies suggest that there is a significantly higher probability that a pedestrian will be struck and killed in a car crash during dark hours than during light conditions. For obvious reasons, drivers should be particularly alert while driving in the dark as vision is greatly reduced.
