She died at the scene.
Police said the woman was crossing the street mid-block when she was struck two times.
The vehicles did not stop and Sinclair said one vehicle is described as a white Ford transit van going northbound on Birchmount Road and the other is described as a black SUV going southbound.
Sinclair said police believe the white van should have some damage to the windshield. They are also looking into if speed was a factor.
Police are asking anyone with video to contact them.
