MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WKRN) -- More than a week after a hit-and-run crash occurred outside a Murfreesboro grocery store, authorities announced the victim had died.

The Murfreesboro Police Department initially described the incident as a "serious injury crash," saying it took place shortly before 6 p.m. on Aug. 24 in the parking lot of the Kroger along S. Church Street.

According to officials, a vehicle hit a 55-year-old pedestrian and left the scene.

Law enforcement said the driver -- identified as 44-year-old Heather Keller of Murfreesboro -- was taken into custody on Aug. 25 and charged with the following offenses:

• Reckless aggravated assault
• Felony reckless endangerment (vehicle)
• Leaving the scene of a crash involving injuries
• Failure to give immediate notice of the crash
• Failure to render aid
• Driving on a revoked license

Keller was reportedly booked into the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center on a $28,500 bond following her arrest.

Police later announced that the woman who was hit in the parking lot died from her injuries on Wednesday, Sept. 3. The medical examiner has been asked to perform an autopsy to determine her exact cause of death.

According to authorities, the Rutherford County District Attorney General's office has been notified about the victim's death, so upgraded charges could be pending against the driver.

No additional details have been released about this incident.
