Authorities now say a possible medical issue behind the wheel may have led to a Pasco teen driver hitting two pedestrian, one of the fatally, in Kennewick.

26-year-old Raquel Middleton died over a week ago after being struck by a car driven by 16-year-old Tara N. Batey of Pasco.   Middleton and 30-year-old Ty Cornwell were struck by Batey's car near the roundabout by Gage and Louisiana Street.

Police now say further medical and toxocology tests will hopefully reveal more information, but they saw a possible medical issue may have led to her erratic driving.  Batey had been speeding and swerving all over Gage Blvd. prior to the crash.
