A 19-year-old Toledo woman died after being struck by a hit-and-run driver early yesterday morning, police said.

Sasha Kemp was standing in the street, on Central Avenue near Jackman Road, trying to flag down a car when she was hit by another vehicle at 1:50 a.m., Toledo police Sgt. Mark Evanoff said. The driver of the car that struck Ms. Kemp then crashed into a fence at nearby Woodlawn Cemetery. The driver fled on foot, Sergeant Evanoff said.

Ms. Kemp was taken to Toledo Hospital, where she died last evening, hospital officials said.
