Police said they may file criminal charges against the driver of an SUV that struck and killed a pedestrian on a Mississippi highway over the weekend.

31-year-old Meagan Gunter-Smith was killed late Saturday while walking near a Walmart store.

Natchez Police Chief Walter Armstrong said investigators suspect alcohol may be a factor in the deadly collision. Armstrong said police were "probably going to end up levying some charges" in the case.
