WOODLAND — Police are looking for a dark-colored car that may have hit and killed a 56-year-old on the grounds of the facility for developmentally disabled people where she lived.

The car may have front end damage.

Ammlung, who lived at the facility off Route 72, was taken to Deborah Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
