STERLING TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A woman hospitalized after she was hit in Brown County by a driver who left the scene has died, according to the Hamilton County Coroner's Office.

The coroner's report identifies her as 30-year-old Kerstin Walker; the report says she died Tuesday, days after she was seriously hurt in the crash.

OSHP said the crash happened on November 5 at around 8:21 p.m. on SR-286 near the intersection of Upper Five Mile West Road.

Troopers said a 30-year-old woman from Hillsboro was found on the side of SR-286; OSHP said investigators determined she'd been hit by a driver who left the scene of the crash.

Investigators found a passenger's side mirror at the crash site and suspect the vehicle involved may have been either a Chevrolet or GMC full-size pickup truck.

The woman was flown to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center via AirCare, where she died.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol is still investigating the crash; anyone with information can contact them at 937.378.6191.
