A Brooklyn woman who was found with severe body trauma on a street and died on Friday afternoon was likely the victim of a hit-and-run, police reported.

Upon arriving at the scene, they found Estelle Davis, 61, of Schenck Avenue in Brooklyn unconscious and unresponsive, with severe body injuries. Paramedics rushed her to Brookdale University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead a short time later.
