An unidentified woman described by the NYPD as "Asian and in her 40s" was fatally run over in Queens this morning around 8 a.m. The FDNY tells us she was declared dead at the scene of the accident, at the intersection of Northern Blvd and Union Street in Flushing. According to the FDNY, she may have been struck by a bus and multiple vehicles, and an NYPD spokesman tells us investigators are still trying to determine if the woman was hit by a bus or another vehicle.

We'll update as more information becomes available. But police on the scene tell CBS 2 the woman was hit by a Q44 bus that did not stop, apparently because the driver was unaware of the incident. “A customer got on a bus and told the driver she saw a bus hit a woman,” MTA spokeswoman Deirdre Parker tells the Daily News. "We have to figure out, if it was one of our buses, which one it was."
