The incident occurred an Meadow Lake Road just east of Manzano Expressway.
Deputies believe the vehicle, which is estimated as having been traveling at about 55 miles per hour at the time, may have driven off the road when it struck Ms. Cooper. Evidence at the scene makes deputies believe the vehicle could be an early '90s model Ford.
Deputy Methola said Ms. Cooper is in critical condition at the University of New Mexico Hospital with two broken legs, a broken back and severe head injuries. She has undergone two surgeries, but the deputy said doctors still aren't sure if she'll survive.
Update:
Nearly three weeks after being struck from behind while walking on the side of the road, Kathleen Cooper died Friday 3-30-07 from her injuries. Cooper, 42, was struck by a vehicle while walking on Meadow Lake Road in the early morning hours of Monday, March 12.
