June 27, 2017 (El Cajon ) – A woman in her 50s who was walking home from the grocery store crossed North Mollison Avenue near Main Street outside of a marked intersection last night at 8:45. She was struck by a black Acura sedan driven by a 19-year-old driver.  Paramedics transported the woman to a hospital, where she later died.

The driver remained on scene and has been “fully cooperative” with the investigation, said Lt. Steve Kirk with the El Cajon Police Department.  He added that drugs or alcohol do not appear to be factors in the collision.

The Department also reminds those who walk at night to obey all traffic control devices, only cross the street at designated, controlled intersections, and wear bright or light colored clothing for visibility. For those driving vehicles during hours or darkness, please pay extra attention to the roadway and be aware of pedestrians that may be entering the roadway to cross. 

The El Cajon Police Department is asking anyone with information regarding this collision to call (619) 579-3311.
