Maria Angélica Moran Moreira, 54, of Lawrenceville, was hit by a northbound vehicle about 6:30 a.m. Monday near Bakers Basin Road in Lawrence Township, police said.

Moreira was pronounced dead at the scene after a passing motorist who saw a woman lying on the highway called 9-1-1, reports said.

Alex Davila created this GoFundMe page on behalf of the Davila Moran family to help cover funeral expenses, writing that they were "absolutely devastated." The page had raised more than $7,200 as of Wednesday afternoon. 

The route's closure caused heavy traffic in both directions near the 2900 block of Route 1.

Anyone with information is urged to call Det. Joseph Radlinsky at 609-844-7134 or email jradlinsky@lawrencetwp.com.

On the GoFundMe page, Alex Davila wrote: "Estamos recaudando fondos para ayudar a la familia Davila Moran con la pérdida de Maria Angélica Moran Moreira.
