The Kansas Highway Patrol said 47-year-old Lisa Longo of Fort Smith was killed Saturday as she picked up debris along the side of I-70. The patrol said a tractor-trailer that was in the passing lane went left of center and struck her.
Longo was out of her vehicle because it had lost part of its load. The vehicle was parked along the shoulder.
Authorities are looking for a dark-colored semi-truck with a light-colored box trailer that was traveling in tandem with another semi-truck. The patrol said the truck that struck Longo may have damage to the driver's side.
