Authorities said the woman was attempting to cross FM 78 just east of Pat Booker Road, near Loop 1604, around 3 a.m. when she was hit by multiple vehicles. Police believe she may have been hit by up to five vehicles.
Police said two of the drivers who hit the woman stopped to render aid, but she died on the scene. Authorities believe that the drivers who did stop were likely the two who hit her first, while the others may not have known they ran someone over. An off-duty first responder who was passing by also stopped to help, police said.
