The (Everett) Herald has the story.

ARLINGTON — A 23-year-old Tulalip woman was struck and killed early Tuesday morning while reportedly attempting to walk across southbound I-5 near Arlington.

It happened about 12:40 a.m., near where the highway crosses the Stillaguamish River.

(The woman, identified as Tara R. Olson,) reportedly drove away from the scene of (an earlier) crash. She was southbound on the highway when she got out of her van and began walking for an unknown reason, Leary said.

Olson was struck by a Ferndale man, 26, driving a Toyota Celica, police said. She died at the scene. The Ferndale man was not injured.

Troopers believe she may have been drinking, according to the Everett newspaper.
