BURIEN, Wash. -- Police in Burien are searching for a driver who struck and killed an elderly woman who was walking Tuesday afternoon.

King County sheriff spokesman John Urquhart said the 81-year-old woman was hit about 12:30 p.m. in the 13500 block of Ambaum Boulevard.

Detectives from the department's major accident reconstruction team blocked off the road while they collected evidence and interviewed witnesses.

Urquhart said the woman, who has not been identified, was crossing the street in a marked crosswalk. She died at the scene.

The car that hit the woman is described as a mid-90s tan or gold Lincoln Town Car. It has dark tinted windows and front-end damage.

Anyone who sees the car is asked to call 911.
