LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — A pedestrian was killed after being hit by a car near Transylvania University early Tuesday morning.
The Fayette County Coroner's office says 44-year-old Anna Kolokotsas was struck by a car on N. Broadway near Fourth Street.
She was pronounced dead at UK Hospital around 2 a.m. Tuesday.
Lexington police are investigating this as a hit-and-run.
"Our prayers are with this individual's family and friends this holiday week," said Transy President Brien Lewis in an email.
He says the pedestrian involved was not affiliated with Transylvania University.
"I want to remind everyone to please be aware of your surroundings when it comes to cross North Broadway and streets in downtown safely," said President Lewis. "Use designated intersections, crosswalks and sidewalks, and be aware of traffic in the area. Not every driver is familiar with the roads around our campus, and we all need to ensure we take responsibility for keeping ourselves and others safe."
