The victim was driving a white Toyota Camry eastbound on the freeway at the above address and pulled over onto the shoulder of the freeway after one of her passengers began to get sick. The driver exited her car to help her passenger. At that time, the driver (Lewis) of a white Hyundai Ascent, also traveling eastbound, failed to stay in a single lane, exited the main lanes at highway speeds and struck the Toyota and the victim. Paramedics pronounced the victim deceased at the scene.
