Fayette County Coroner Gary Ginn has released the name of a woman who was killed while walking across a crosswalk when a vehicle ran through a red light at Nicholasville Road and Rosemont Garden and struck her.

Mia Alayna Ibrahim, 33, of Lexington, died of multiple blunt force injuries, according to Ginn. Ginn said her manner of death was an accident. The Lexington Police Department said “no charges are expected at this time,” according to Sgt. Guy Miller.

Miller said the investigation was ongoing Monday. He explained that while any case remains open, the status of whether to file charges could change.

The crash occurred around 3 p.m. Friday. Nicholasville Road was shut down for hours and reopened later that evening.

According to Ginn, no funeral arrangements for Ibrahim have been posted. He was not immediately available for further comment Monday afternoon.
