WTVR quotes neighbors speculating this incident was a hit and run: [4]

Police are releasing few details, but a crash team is on site as well as detectives. And a neighbor who lives in the complex and saw the body tells CBS 6 he believes the woman may have been a victim of a hit and run.

Dr. Scott Pinks says the marks on the woman's body look like she may have been hit by a car.
