A woman has been identified after she was fatally hit by a truck Wednesday evening in Gurnee.

Around 8 p.m., Gurnee police officers arrived at the scene near Delany Road and Sunset Avenue involving a vehicle and a pedestrian.

The pedestrian was found unresponsive and was pronounced dead at the scene. 

The Lake County Coroner's Office has identified the victim as 33-year-old Amber Knowles of Mundelein. The office said she died from blunt force injuries. 

The crash was believed to be a hit-and-run, but it was then revealed that the driver of a Ford E450 truck pulled off into a nearby business immediately after the crash. The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.

The roadway was closed for several hours.

The crash remains under investigation by the Gurnee Police Department and Major Crash Assistance Team.
