A vehicle involved in a crash was stopped on the northbound main lanes of the freeway at the above address when the driver and an occupant of another vehicle stopped to check on the welfare of the person(s) in the initial vehicle.  While multiple people were outside their vehicles on the freeway, a dark truck of unknown make or model struck the second vehicle.  The impact caused the female, standing outside the vehicle, to be knocked over the guardrail where she fell to the service road below.  Paramedics transported the female to an area hospital where she was pronounced deceased.
