The police say a search has been launched to locate the driver, who did not stop.
The deceased woman has been identified as 28-year-old Donique Thomas of Hibernia in Manchester.
The police reported that about 8:30 p.m., Thomas and a man were travelling in a 1997 Honda Civic motor car along the highway when an argument developed.
According to the police, the woman opened the passenger door and jumped from the vehicle.

The police said the driver of the second vehicle sped away from the scene.
