The pedestrian, a 49-year-old woman out of Grass Valley, was walking in a crosswalk when a Dodge pickup truck driven by a 45-year-old Grass Valley man traveling southbound on the highway hit her.

The investigation is still underway and crews will be on the scene for approximately two more hours.

Officials advise avoiding the area until the scene is cleared.
