TPD said in a press release Friday evening that the 45-year-old woman — a native of Imperial, Nebraska identified as Charlotte Wallin — was taken off of life support just after 5 p.m. Friday at UAB Hospital.

Investigators believe the driver was heading east and apparently lost control of the 1999 Buick
Century, before driving onto the sidewalk and striking the woman between Marrs Spring Road and Hackberry Lane.

TPD said the car then crossed the median and came to stop in the westbound lanes of Jack Warner Parkway.

The driver — a 30-year-old Tuscaloosa woman — reportedly remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation, which remains ongoing.
