PHOENIX — A pedestrian and her dog are dead, and a driver is at large after a hit-and-run crash early Friday morning in west Phoenix.

Phoenix police say they were called to the area along 51st Avenue just north of Broadway Road around 1 a.m. for the reported crash.

When officers arrived, they found a woman and her dog suffering from critical injuries.

The pedestrian and the dog were pronounced dead at the scene.

Police later identified the woman as 29-year-old Brittany Geib.

While it's not clear what type of vehicle hit the woman and her dog, police believe it may have been a Toyota Tacoma that struck them first, and a Toyota Camry may have struck the two after the first vehicle.

The crash remains under investigation.
