CHARLOTTE (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A woman has been charged after allegedly hitting and killing a pedestrian in Steele Creek, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.

Around 8:20 a.m. on Monday, October 6, officers responded to a crash involving a pedestrian in the 9700 block of Shopton Road. When they arrived, they found an unresponsive man on the road.
