The Washington State Patrol says a 36-year-old Yakima woman who was holding her 17-month-old son was killed Thursday when she stepped outside her car after a two-vehicle crash on Interstate 82 near Selah and was struck by an oncoming pickup. Troopers identified the woman as Antonia Vazquez Ruiz.

Lt. Ken Wade says the little boy was released from a hospital with no serious injuries Thursday afternoon.
Wade says the woman was fatally injured Thursday morning when the pickup struck the two vehicles involved in the first crash in the westbound lanes. Wade says two other people were taken to a hospital.

The crash closed the westbound lanes of I-82 north of Selah for several hours.
