INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) - Missouri police say a 23-year-old Independence woman was struck by a car and killed Sunday on Interstate 70 when she ran into traffic during an argument.
The Independence Police Department said in a written statement Monday that shortly before 2:30 p.m. officers responded to a verbal disturbance between two people in the parking lot of Children’s Mercy East hospital.
The Kansas City Star reports that one of the people involved, Tabetha L. Estep, ran onto the eastbound lanes of nearby I-70, where she was struck by a 2014 Dodge Dart.
She was pronounced dead at the scene. No one in the vehicle was injured.
