A Murphysboro woman is dead and the investigation is continuing after a car-versus-pedestrian accident Friday evening.
Murphysboro Police say they were called to the scene in the 600 block of Bridge Street around 7:40 Friday night... where they found the victim, 57-year old Viola Ganer. Ganer was pronounced dead at the scene.
