An Illinois woman died after being hit by an SUV late Tuesday in Walworth County, officials said.

The 54-year-old woman had left the nearby Ridge Hotel shortly before she was hit at about 11:25 p.m. by a 2001 Ford Expedition driven by a Genoa City man. Christopher Robiwtow, 44, immediately pulled over and waited for authorities, according to a news release from the Town of Geneva Police Department.

The woman, whose name was not released as of 9 a.m. Wednesday, may have stepped into the lane of traffic, Chief Steven Hurley said.
