A woman who got out of her car after hitting a wall on Interstate 185 early Wednesday was struck and killed by another vehicle, Columbus police said.
Coroner Buddy Bryan identified the victim as Jaleesa Moore, 28, of Fort Mitchell, Alabama, who was pronounced dead at the scene at 4:15 a.m.
Police said the crash happened around 3:15 a.m. in the interstate’s southbound lanes between Manchester Expressway and Macon Road.
Police said she had an accident that caused her car to come to rest facing north against the retaining wall at the interstate median, and she got out to stand in the lane next to it. That’s when another southbound vehicle hit her and her car.
