The preliminary investigation indicated a pedestrian, Breann Hailey Mayberry (31) of Umatilla, was located deceased on the northbound shoulder of the highway.

While still at the scene, investigators observed a white Freightliner commercial motor vehicle and trailer being towed down the highway. The damage to the Freightliner was consistent with the scene evidence and the vehicle was seized. The operator, Timothy Alvin Brown (66) of Yakima (WA), was later located and arrested for Fail to Perform Duties of a Driver.

 

The pedestrian (Mayberry) was declared deceased at the scene.

 

The operator of the Freightliner (Brown) was reportedly uninjured.
