Woman on moped killed in hit-and-run crash in Louisville's Southside neighborhood

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police say a woman on a moped died after she was involved in a hit-and-run crash with a pickup truck late Sunday night in Louisville's Southside neighborhood.

According to Aaron Ellis, a spokesman for the Louisville Metro Police Department, the crash took place shortly after 11 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 3, on Cambridge Drive, just off of Southside Drive.

Police believe a red pickup truck was traveling eastbound on Cambridge Drive when it was involved in a head-on collision with a moped traveling in the opposite direction.

The impact caused the moped to leave the roadway and land in a grassy area.

The driver of the pickup truck failed to stop or render aid, according to police, continuing westbound on Cambridge Drive.

The driver of the moped, a woman, was pronounced dead at the scene. She has since been identified by the Jefferson County Coroner's Office as 70-year-old Deborah Richardson.
