A 23-year-old Fife woman was struck and killed by a vehicle while walking along Interstate 5 in Kent.
The incident occurred at about 1:30 a.m. Feb. 26 near South 248th Street.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Andrea E. Manske was walking in the southbound lanes when she was struck by a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban driven by a 62-year-old Tacoma man, according to a Washington State Patrol media release. Manske died at the scene.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Manske was a passenger in a car that had pulled over to the freeway shoulder. She decided to get out of that vehicle after she had a disagreement with the driver.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“The individual was upset,” said Julie Startup, a State Patrol spokeswoman, in a Monday phone interview. “We don’t know if it was an argument or what but she decided to walk out of the vehicle.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Startup said investigators determined that it was an accident.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“There are no plans for any charges,” Startup said. “It appears what she did was under her own power.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
