When the officers arrived on scene and found a woman with life threatening injuries. Medical attention was administered by law enforcement personnel and an off-duty paramedic.

The woman was identified as 58 year old, Andrea Louise Campos.

Investigators determined, Campos was walking northbound on the sidewalk on Crater Lake Parkway just prior to the crash.

Campos walked in front of a motor vehicle traveling southbound on Crater Lake Parkway and causing the collision.
