Before the collision, the driver of a black 2011 Acura RDX was traveling northbound on North Horners Lane when Thai was struck, county police said. The collision was near the intersection with Southlawn Lane, police said.

The driver of the Acura remained at the scene after the collision and is cooperating with the investigation underway by the department’s Collision Reconstruction Unit, police said.

Police noted Monday that Thai’s “path of travel” before the collision remains under investigation. Detectives determined there were no signs of impairment.
