Date:<\/strong> June 2, 2010
\nUbicaci\u00f3n:<\/strong> I-5 near Ashland, Oregon
\nNombres:<\/strong> Teryl Collins<\/p>\n

Police are trying to find a hit-and-run driver who struck and killed a pedestrian June 2, 2010, on I-5 near Ashland, Oregon, according to an OSP press release.<\/p>\n

The victim was identified as Teryl Collins, 51, of Ashland. It is not known why Collins was walking on the highway at the time of the crash.<\/p>\n

Around 2:10 AM, troopers were dispatched to I-5 southbound near milepost 14 to check on reports of an adult female walking in the southbound lanes of travel. When they arrived, they found Collins deceased, in the middle of the southbound slow lane. Police determined that her injuries were consistent with being hit by a vehicle.<\/p>\n

The Ashland Daily Tidings reports that the hit-and-run vehicle was likely a semi-truck, bus, or other large vehicle. There were no skid marks at the scene. It appears the driver did not try to stop, and police think the driver may not have realized the crash took place.<\/p>\n

Sgt. Steve Mitchell urged witnesses to come forward, including anyone who may have been walking with Collins. He said it may be \u201cnearly impossible\u201d to figure out what happened otherwise.<\/p>\n

Investigators are running toxicology tests to see if drugs or alcohol were involved.<\/p>\n

Police have asked that any potential witnesses, or anyone who saw Collins before the crash, contact Oregon State Police’s Central Point office at 541-776-6114 or the after-hours dispatch center at 541-776-6111.<\/p>\n

We send our thoughts and prayers to Collins\u2019 family after this tragic crash, and we urge anyone who has information to come forward. The driver may have been unaware that he or she hit a pedestrian, but may have noticed something later. Perhaps you are living with the knowledge that you may have hit someone. This family needs answers. We ask you to search your heart and do the right thing.<\/p>\n
