Jefferson City School Teacher Dies After Being Struck by Vehicle

A 25-year-old woman has died after being hit by a car in downtown Columbia.

Columbia police say in a news release that Katie Paul died Saturday night.

She and another pedestrian were struck by the car earlier in the night.

Paul was a fourth-grade teacher at Jefferson City's Moreau Heights Elementary School, according to the Columbia Missourian and the school's facebook page. 

Officials say it is unclear if anyone involved was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The crash is still under investigation.
