A 44-year-old woman is dead after being hit by a vehicle Friday night on Interstate 84 between the Locust Grove Road and Meridian Road exits, Idaho State Police dispatchers told the Statesman on Saturday.

According to a release from ISP, Tawny Taylor, 25, of Boise was driving a 2009 Kia Optima westbound when a pedestrian, Michele J. Stevenson, of Boise, attempted to cross over from the right shoulder to the median. Taylor’s vehicle struck Stevenson, who later died at the hospital.

Stevenson’s cause of death was blunt force trauma from being hit by the vehicle, the Ada County coroner said in a press release Monday afternoon.
