PARK CITY, Utah — A woman was killed after being struck by a vehicle in front of Park City High School early Thursday morning. The victim was identified by investigators as 55-year-old Catalina Alvarado Lopez.

Multiple students witnessed the incident, and the Park City School District will be offering support services for students.

"...we recognize the emotional impact this may have on them, as well as our broader school community," the district wrote.

Following the collision, traffic slowed on Kearns Boulevard for several hours as the investigation was underway.

Investigators say Lopez was crossing the street in an unmarked crossing zone when she was struck by a pickup. Despite the victim being flown by a medical helicopter to the hospital she would pass away.

The driver of the pickup truck remained on the scene and cooperated with investigators.
