Alachua, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a 33-year-old woman was lying in a private driveway when she was accidentally run over and killed by an Alachua police officer.

The Florida Highway Patrol says Officer Chad Scott was responding to a report of a disturbance early Sunday morning.

The report says Angela Tanner was lying on the unpaved driveway when the officer tried to swerve his car to avoid hitting her.

Tanner was declared dead at the scene.

Scott is on administrative leave, and it is unknown why the woman was lying in the driveway.
