I-20 East, Monroe, La. (Possibly around the 126 mm?)
A Lady from Grapevine, TX hit a deer, parked on the left shoulder, got out of her car to inspect the damage, then a dump truck hit her.
By reading the article, it sounds like the dump truck was also in the left lane (possibly passing another truck?) & swerved into the median to keep from hitting her car. Once in the median, he hit her drivers door, then hit her. Killing her instantly.

That's a very common occurrence. Many people survive the initial impact only to get hit and killed after exiting their damaged vehicle.
Also should be noted that by pulling over on the left shoulder, inattentive motorists will think the car is on the right shoulder and start correcting to the left of the fixed object right into the median or the vehicle itself. -
