GLOUCESTER TWP., New Jersey (WPVI) -- A woman died after being struck by a hit-and-run driver in Camden County, New Jersey.

Police say the driver hit 58-year-old Elaine Hubler on the 800 block of the Black Horse Pike near Route 42 in Gloucester Township around 10:30 p.m. Monday.

"The person should have known that they struck this person," said Gloucester Twp. Police Chief David Harkins.

Police say the vehicle believed to be the one involved in the crash was located Tuesday.

Earlier, authorities released grainy video of the car they believe hit Hubler, described as dark-colored with moderate front-end damage.

No further information on the vehicle including where it was located has been released.

Other motorists found her and stayed by her side until medics arrived.

Hubler was taken to the hospital where she died.

"We're working for her family, for her. She really doesn't have a voice yet. We're going to be that voice and try to find whoever did this and hold them accountable," Harkins said.

Anyone who witnessed the crash or has more information on the driver should contact the Gloucester Township Police Department at (856) 228-4500.

The Black Horse Pike was closed for approximately three hours as police investigated the scene.
