Driver not charged after SUV hits, kills woman in north Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Police are investigating after they said a woman was struck and killed by an SUV Tuesday night in north Charlotte.

Investigators said that just after 9 p.m., the driver of a black Chevrolet Suburban was heading southbound on West Sugar Creek Road when he hit 26-year-old Francisca Rosada, who was standing in the right lane.

Rosada was taken to the hospital, where she died two hours later.

Officers have not charged the driver, who they said was not speeding at the time of the collision.
