A 17-year-old pedestrian who died after being struck by a tractor trailer at a busy downtown Nashville intersection Thursday has been identified as a Hume Fogg High School student.

Metro police said Elena Zamora, a junior at Hume Fogg, was walking east to west on Church Street in a crosswalk at 1 p.m. when she was struck by a tractor trailer that was turning right from Church Street onto Rosa L. Parks Boulevard.

Indications are Elena had the signal to walk, and the truck had a green light.
