ANGIER, N.C. (WNCN) — Angier police say they are looking for a Ford SUV involved in a hit-and-run crash that killed a woman last week.

The incident happened on Feb. 6 just after 6:25 p.m. when a woman was trying to cross N.C. 201 in Angier, police said in a news release.

The woman, Katelyn Lothrop, was struck and killed by an SUV that left the scene.
