Two men have been arrested after a pedestrian was killed in a hit-and-run collision in Leeds, police have said.
The 35-year-old woman was struck by a blue VW Golf R in Thorpe Lane, Middleton, close to the junction with Redbarn Close at about 21:40 BST on Friday.
The vehicle, which was travelling in the direction of Robin Hood, did not stop at the scene and was found abandoned on Saturday, West Yorkshire Police said.
