Kent, WA (July 11, 2020)– Julia Villalobos died in a pedestrian accident involving a semi truck on State Route 516 Wednesday morning.
 
On July 8, a semi-truck hit and killed a female pedestrian identified as Julia Villalobos, said Washington State Patrol Trooper, Rick Johnson.
 
Officials then closed the milepost 150 just before 4 a.m. as reported by the Washington State Department of Transportation.
 
According to WSP, Villalobos was seen moving traffic barrels in a construction zone and hid between two barrels near SR 516.
 
Villalobos was lying down on the road when a semi-truck approached the area. The semi then struck Villalobos, and the truck immediately pulled over on the right shoulder of the road.
 
The woman was later pronounced deceased.
