Lashuana Davis, 20, crossed the eastbound lanes of the White Horse Pike near Monroe Avenue about 1:15 a.m. But Davis did not look for oncoming cars as she walked into the westbound lanes, said Magnolia police Sgt. John Kirk-bride. Davis was struck by a Dodge Ram. She was taken to Cooper University Hospital in Camden, where she died about 90 minutes following the accident, Kirk-bride said.

The van's driver Shirley Komar, 30, of Wil-lingboro saw police officers at the scene of another accident about a block away. She drove there to tell them about Davis' injuries. No charges are expected to be filed against Komar, Kirkbride said. The speed limit on that stretch of the White Horse Pike is 40 mph. Police believe Komar was traveling near the speed limit.

Davis was with family shortly before the accident, and her sister was there as officers responded to the scene, Kirkbride said. Davis' family was too upset to provide much information to police, Kirkbride added. An autopsy is scheduled to be performed today, Kirkbride said.
