Woman lying on Highway 22 killed by multiple cars
Salem Police believe a woman hit and killed by two cars Saturday night was lying on Highway 22.
The woman, who police identified Monday as Dallas resident Alexandria Tereshka, 27, died following the collision at 9:15 p.m.
She was hit near the Wallace Road Northwest exit.
Salem Police spokesman Lt. Treven Upkes said the woman was apparently lying in the road intentionally.
Evidence collected at the scene suggests she was not standing when hit and had not been hit by other cars before the fatal collision, he said.
Upkes said a toxicology report on the woman is forthcoming.
Both drivers cooperated with the investigation, and neither appeared impaired. Criminal charges are not expected, police said.
