El Paso Police Department officers diverted traffic off Interstate 10 West near Lee Trevino Drive after a woman was fatally struck by a truck about 9:20 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 26, on Interstate 10 West.<\/p>\n

The woman, who police only identified as Jane Doe, was “for unknown reasons” lying on the highway when she was hit by a white 2023 GMC Sierra driven by a 34-year-old man, the news release states. Police originally said in a news alert that the crash involved a semitrailer.<\/p>\n

The GMC driver was unable to avoid hitting the woman. She died from the injuries she suffered in the crash.<\/p>\n
