speeding along above the posted speed limit and ran her over. that driver did reportedly stop briefly at the next light but then continued on to the freeway and has not been seen since. the woman did survive the initial impact with a faint heartbeat when the paramedics arrived but died later at the hospital. >> the problem in this area is the cars never stop. with the light here, the cars have no respect. the people cruise it free. this is a big problem in this area. >> reporter: police believe that the hit-and-run suv is going to have a lot of damage to its front end. they are still looking for the driver as i mentioned and believe that he or she was driving a chevy tahoe suburban light in color, possibly silver or brown. now, a nearby restaurant owner who we just heard from tells us this intersection has been dangerous for quite some time, which is why he fought to get this crossing signal here at the

pedestrian crosswalk installed a year and a half ago. but he says that vehicle stills /* come speeding through here. >> thank you so much, bob. new developments overnight in the ebola crisis. a german hospital says a medical worker being treated for the virus there has died. the 56-year-old man contracted ebola while working in liberia and was being treated there. mean while, the texas nurse is getting help from the doctor who survived the illness. nina pham has received a blood transfusion from kent brantley. people who develop the virus have antibodies in the blood that can last for ten years. this nurse helped thomas eric duncan, the first person who died from ebola in the u.s.
