In an update to our report posted Tuesday evening, the Iowa State Patrol says a woman who was struck by a vehicle on eastbound Interstate 80, just west of Stuart, has died from her injuries. Stuart Rescue was dispatched at around 6:41-p.m. to the 92 mile marker for a reported vehicle-versus-pedestrian accident.

Authorities say a vehicle driven by 26-year old Kristina Schmidbauer, of Council Bluffs, was broken down on on the side of the road. The woman was apparently standing in the traveled portion of the Interstate when she was struck by a 2019 Dodge Durango, being driven by 53-year old Richard Moncivaez, of Nashville, TN.

The accident remains under investigation.
