A 56-year-old woman was fatally struck by a vehicle Wednesday night while walking her dog in Enterprise.

At around 6:30 p.m., the unidentified woman was walking in the road westbound on Shelbourne Avenue, near Rancho Destino Road, when a 1997 Ford F-150 crashed into her from behind, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Police said glare from the sun was “likely a contributing factor” and that the driver of the Ford did not show signs of impairment. The woman was taken to University Medical Center where she died. Police did not say if the dog was injured.
