NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — After a woman died after tripping and falling into downtown New Orleans traffic over the weekend, detectives have released the first image of the driver accused of leaving the scene after the crash.

The New Orleans Police Department said Tuesday (Nov. 22) the person driving what’s believed to be a light-colored, four-door BMW sedan with unknown license plates struck the unidentified woman and continued away from the scene.

We’re told the woman was standing on the median at the intersection of Canal and Liberty streets in the Central Business District just after midnight Sunday (Nov. 20) morning when she tripped and fell into oncoming traffic. The victim’s identity has not yet been disclosed.
