PORT ORCHARD — Authorities say a 34-year-old woman was struck and killed while helping a driver who had run out of gas in Port Orchard.
The Kitsap Sun reports Katherine Phillips of Belfair was struck at about 5 a.m. Thursday.
Washington State Patrol spokesman Trooper Russ Winger says Phillips stopped to help on her way home from an overnight shift with the Washington State Ferries.
She drove to a nearby gas station and returned with a can of gas. Winger says while she and the driver of the disabled vehicle filled the tank, a gold or tan sedan drove by and hit her.
