Vehicle #4 was merging from the center lane into the left lane and was unable to avoid striking the pedestrian. That vehicle became disabled and the driver stayed on scene.
No other information was obtained on the three evading motor vehicles. The pedestrian, who sustained fatal injuries, is unidentified at this time, therefore a next of kin notification has not been conducted.
