Virginia State Police responded to a crash on westbound Interstate 64 at the 108 mile marker involving a tractor-trailer and a pedestrian reported at 5:06 a.m. Thursday.

The tractor-trailer was traveling in the left lane when it struck a female pedestrian who was walking in the lane. The tractor-trailer was unable to avoid striking the pedestrian.

The pedestrian died at the scene and her remains were transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond for positive identification.

This is all the information we have at this time. The crash remains under investigation.
