"At the scene they found a woman who had been struck by a vehicle," Herndon police Lt. Ron Thunman said. "They summoned rescue units. She was pronounced dead at the scene."
Police found three young children left alone at the victim's home. The children were in good health and were turned over to Child Protective Services.
