OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – A 22-year-old woman died Saturday when a vehicle struck her along the interstate in south-central Oklahoma City, reports Fox 25. 

The auto-pedestrian crash occurred shortly before 4:45 a.m. on the eastbound side of I-240 at South Western Avenue. This is north of Lightning Creek Park in the Taylor Park area.

Police say that an eastbound 2021 Dodge RAM 2500 carrying two people hit a pedestrian in the center lane of the interstate.

The pedestrian succumbed to her injuries at the scene. Authorities identified her as Julissa Duncan.

Neither the driver of the Dodge nor the passenger sustained injuries.

It’s not yet clear why the victim was standing in the roadway at the time of the accident.

Officials closed the eastbound side of I-240 for almost an hour and a half while crews worked at the scene.

A full investigation is underway.
