PALM SPRINGS - A pedestrian is hit and killed just before 6 p.m. Tuesday night.

A preliminary investigation revealed that the woman had allegedly been walking outside of the crosswalk as she made her way across Palm Canyon. The driver of the car stayed until help arrived. No word if alcohol was a factor.
