Police have identified a woman who died after a pedestrian accident in East Haven on Sunday morning.

Officers were called to Frontage Road in front of Carmax after getting a report of a body in the roadway.

When police arrived, they said they found a woman, later identified as 38-year-old Amber Neal, of Clinton, suffering from serious injuries in the middle of the road.

Firefighters arrived and Neal at the scene before rushing her to Yale New Haven Hospital. Neal was later pronounced dead, authorities added.

Investigators said right now, the chain of events leading up to the discovery of the woman in the road is unclear.

No other vehicles remained at the scene and authorities said it's unclear if Neal was hit by another car while walking along Frontage Road or if she was thrown from a vehicle.

Frontage Road westbound was closed while investigators worked to determine what happened. It has since reopened.

The investigation is ongoing.
