"This is literally what we're dealing with here in the city. It's a lot of high crime and a lot of reckless driving. It just has to stop because there is no need for it. It's senseless," said Erika Stacker, who lives near the crash site. 

Police have not shared how long the victim was in the roadway – or why officers were not able to spot her in time.
