When officers arrived, they found the pedestrian unresponsive in the roadway. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

The pedestrian then came to rest in the northbound lanes, where they were struck by two additional vehicles.
Police say the pedestrian was not in a marked or implied crosswalk.
All drivers involved were evaluated for impairment, but officers determined none were under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Whether the pedestrian had alcohol or drugs in their system will be determined through medical records.
