Alaska State Troopers are investigating after a woman’s body was discovered Monday morning in a Wasilla-area ditch.
A man called 911 at around 9:25 a.m. to report that he had found a dead woman on the side of the road at Appalachian Avenue and Vine Road in Wasilla, troopers said in an online dispatch.
Troopers identified the woman as Tammy McLinn, 33, of Wasilla. Next of kin have been notified.
Investigators believe McLinn was walking beside Vine Road when she was hit by a 1990s Chevrolet truck or SUV, according to troopers.
Troopers urged potential witnesses to call dispatch at 907-351-5401.
