According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the accident happened on the Daniel Boone Bridge that carries Interstate 64 traffic over the Missouri River, connecting St. Louis and St. Charles counties.

She was around the halfway point of the bridge and stopped the car in the right lane and left her vehicle to try and remove the tire. A pickup truck behind her was unable to avoid her and hit both her and the car.
Phung was pronounced dead at the scene
