Police are investigating the death of a 29-year-old woman hit by a vehicle in Maskwacis.
RCMP have identified the woman as Delaina Lace Cutarm.
The collision occurred sometime late on July 5 or early on July 6 on Schoolhouse Road on the Ermineskin Cree Nation, RCMP said in news release Thursday.
The woman’s body was found outside, dead, RCMP said.
While RCMP said the collision was somewhere on Schoolhouse Road, they didn’t reveal the location where the woman’s body was found.
Officers from the Maskwacis RCMP detachment, the RCMP forensic identification section and an RCMP collision reconstructionist attended the location of the collision on Schoolhouse Road around 1:30 a.m. on July 6.
An autopsy has confirmed Cutarm’s injuries were consistent with “having been struck by a vehicle,” police said in the news release.
Police are asking anyone with information on Cutarm’s activities during the evening of July 5, or in the early morning of July 6, to contact them as they work to create a timeline of events leading up to her death.
