 Denver police are looking for a white mini-van that sped away after striking and killing a pedestrian at South Sheridan Boulevard near West Yale Avenue Sunday evening.

Police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez said the woman who was struck and killed was standing in a turn lane and was not in a crosswalk when she was struck at about 5:30 p.m.

"If the person had stopped, it appears the pedestrian was at fault," Lopez said.

She said the mini-van sustained damage, likely on its driver's side.

Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867, send a text message to CRIMES (274637) with the title DMCS, or send an e-mail to metro-denvercrimestoppers.com.

Earlier this year Gov. John Hickenlooper signed into law tougher penalties for hit-and-run drivers, who could face up to six years in jail for leaving the scene of a fatality, equivalent to drunk drivers who cause traffic deaths.
