A 23-year-old pedestrian was allegedly hit by a car and died in Schiltberg (Aichach-Friedberg district in Bavaria).
Witnesses found the young woman on a sidewalk early Saturday morning with serious injuries, police said.
An ambulance could no longer help her.
It can be assumed that the woman from the Neuburg-Schrobenhausen district was hit by a car.
The driver apparently fled the scene of the accident in the Allenberg district after the collision early on Saturday morning, the police said.
A helicopter was used to search for the car, but the fugitive driver was initially not found.
An expert should now reconstruct the course of the accident.
The police are looking for more witnesses.
