Officials have identified a 22-year-old woman who was struck and killed Sunday night while walking on Interstate 10 near Eloy.

According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, troopers responded to mile post 216 on eastbound I-10 just after 11:30 p.m.

DPS dispatched crews to the area after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting a woman in the roadway.
