Pedestrian killed when car strikes her on Lilly Road in Olympia

A 68-year-old woman was killed Sunday evening when she was hit by a car while crossing Lilly Road, according to Olympia police.

The Thurston County Coroner identified her as Shirley Sorrell of Olympia. She died en route to Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia, Lt. Paul Lower told The Olympian.

About 6 p.m. Sunday, a driver in her 90s was southbound on Lilly Road when she allegedly struck Sorrell crossing the 700 block of Lilly Road Northeast, Lower said.

There is a crosswalk in the area, but Sorrell allegedly did not use it, Lower said.

Lower said the driver was not impaired. “The woman stayed on scene and was cooperative,” he said, adding that she was upset about what had happened.

The incident is under investigation.
