The Jackson Police Department is investigating the incident and there's no charges against the driver who hit her. This incident happened on Tuesday night.

Somehow her phone was knocked out her hand. The clip continued for several moments until screams are heard in the distance and cars can be heard screeching to a halt.
Other vehicles can be heard honking as the footage continue playing.
The victim, Ashlee Sims of Jackson, Mississippi died at the scene. The clip is 11 minutes long and it will be in the 8 minute frame.

Folks, never walk on a freeway. Please do not chase after property on the freeway. Your life is more important than property.
