A 53-year-old Burlington woman who was walking along southbound Interstate 5 early Wednesday near the Bow Hill rest stop was struck and killed by two vehicles, the first of which left the scene.
State Patrol determined the debris is associated with a 2008-2010 Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350 or F-450 truck that is possibly dark in color.
The Skagit County Coroner’s Office has completed the examination of a 53 year old female, Tonya L. Pearson of Burlington, Washington. On 11/20/2019, Tonya Pearson was a pedestrian who was struck by a motor vehicle on I-5 south bound, mile post 207, Bow, Washington. The cause of death is multiple blunt force trauma injuries. The manner of death is accident. No further information will be released by this office.
Detectives believe the Ford truck is dark in color and could have damage to the right front fender. They’ve scoured local body shops and auto dealers looking for the vehicle. “We have no idea that this person is a Washington resident, but what we do know is that the damage is significant enough that they had to fix it. Somebody knows something,” said Trooper Axtman.
“We have a lighting fixture from the passenger headlight and we have pieces from a passenger side mirror. What that shows our investigators is that Tonya was standing at the time she was originally hit, by what we believe is a Super Duty F-250, 350 or 450. We don’t know if that’s a single cab, an extended cab, or a quad cab,” said Trooper Heather Axtman.
