A 44-year-old woman was the victim of a fatal vehicle vs. pedestrian crash Tuesday, the Allen County Coroner's Office disclosed today.

Shannon Joy Lamb of Fort Wayne died from multiple blunt force injuries due to the crash in the area of Coliseum Boulevard and Columbia Avenue, the coroner's office said in a news release.

The incident occurred just before 8:20 a.m. Tuesday.

A police report earlier this week indicated the initial investigation showed the woman was struck by a vehicle while crossing the road. The driver of the vehicle that struck her immediately stopped and called 911.

The county has now had 37 traffic fatalities this year. Lamb's next of kin has been notified, a news release said.
