Investigators say Follett had been walking along Highway 89 when she was struck by an eastbound blue passenger vehicle shortly after 2 a.m.

The driver did not remain at the scene.

Police believe a white SUV was travelling closely behind the suspect vehicle at the time of the crash, and say that the driver may be an important witness. The driver is being urged to contact investigators.
