A woman crossing 50th Street E near Broadway Avenue in Tampa died early Saturday when a car hit her. Police had not released her identity as of late Saturday morning, saying that her family had yet to be notified.

Northbound lanes of 50th Street E, closed after the accident, were open again Saturday morning. Tampa Police Lt. Brian Gant said the driver was cooperative with investigators and no charges have been filed.

"She (the pedestrian) wasn't crossing at the crosswalk and darted out into traffic and got hit," Gant said. Tampa police sent out news of the accident at 3:42 a.m. Saturday.
