SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities investigating a fatal accident have identified the victim as 54-year-old  Michelle Truong of Wichita.

Just after 9 pm Tuesday, police responded to the area of Pawnee and Hillside in Wichita for an injury accident involving a vehicle and a pedestrian, according to officer Trevor Macey.

Through their investigation, officers learned that Truong was involved in a minor accident just east of the intersection. As Truong exited her vehicle to contact the other driver and exchange information, she was struck by another vehicle as she crossed to the opposite side of the street.

Truong was pronounced deceased on scene. The driver who struck her remained on scene and cooperated with the investigation, according to Macey.
