Pedestrian hit, killed in I-10 construction zone near Broadway Curve
PHOENIX - A deadly crash involving a pedestrian blocked traffic along Interstate 10 near the Broadway Curve on Monday morning.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety says the crash happened at 6:17 a.m. on Dec. 11 in the eastbound lanes near 40th Street when a woman was hit by three vehicles in a construction zone.
DPS says the woman was walking along the freeway when she was hit. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
She is Alejandra Lopez, 24. DPS doesn't know where she is from.
"The deceased pedestrian was not a construction worker, and may have been impaired," DPS said.
DPS says no arrests were made and the case is being investigated as a hit-and-run.
The freeway was not closed, but multiple lanes were blocked due to the investigation.
Another person was killed on I-10 in Phoenix Monday just a mile away and hours ago from this deadly morning crash.
