The second pedestrian in two days died after being hit by a car, and the driver responsible turned himself in.

The woman was on Nolensville Pike near Interstate 440 in South Nashville just after midnight, early Sunday morning. Police said she was not in a crosswalk.

The 19-year-old driver of a Honda sedan stopped to help. He told police he was headed home from work and didn't see the woman before hitting her. No charges have been anticipated against him.

Police said they were not sure why the woman was in the street. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities said she was not carrying identification, and her name was still unknown.

Reports stated she was heavyset and appeared to be in her 30's. She was wearing a grey t-shirt that said "Flawless."

The victim was the second pedestrian killed over the weekend. Marquise Knowles, 22, turned himself in to police Monday evening after being named as a suspect in the case.
