MURRAY, Utah — The Murray Police Department said a driver is cooperating with an investigation into a fatal auto-pedestrian accident.

Murray’s Public Information Officer confirmed the first driver and victim are both middle-aged females.
 
Police said the victim was in a dimly lit area, but not in a crosswalk and as such they do not suspect that the driver was impaired.
