EVERETT — A driver hit and killed a woman Thursday night as she crossed Evergreen Way, police said

Just before 10 p.m., the woman, 34, was crossing in the 11800 block of Evergreen Way when a car struck her, according to the Everett Fire Department. Investigators believe she was walking in the middle of the block outside of a crosswalk.

Everett officers attempted life-saving measures, but the woman died at the scene, authorities said.

The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. It was unclear if police were investigating the fatal crash as a crime, officer CJ Hawley said Friday afternoon.

The northbound lanes of Evergreen Way were closed for over two hours as detectives investigated.
