It happened around 4:40am on August 5, 2012 in the southbound lanes of the 13700 block of the Gulf Freeway.
A car stranded on the shoulder of the highway had just caught fire, and a 20-year-old passenger inside exited it. But as she walked around to the driver's side of the burning car, she was struck by another vehicle.

However, investigators still have no new information regarding the suspect driver or vehicle.
