REDDING, Calif. — Authorities say a woman was killed after she was struck by a pickup truck while trying to cross a Redding street yesterday evening, Wednesday, Feb. 24.

The deadly collision happened near the intersection of Hartnell and Victor avenues according to officials, who have said the victim was not using the crosswalk when she entered traffic and was fatally struck.

City of Redding Police and Fire personnel were dispatched to the area at 6:27 p.m., after receiving reports of a vehicle versus pedestrian collision, Redding Police Sergeant Mark Montgomery later said of the accident.

When officials arrived they found the victim down in the roadway with major injuries. She was rushed to Mercy Hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries and passed away, according to Montgomery.

The victim’s name has not been released pending further investigation and notification of her family.

The driver of the vehicle that struck the woman had remained at the scene with his vehicle, a black 2005 Chevy Trailblazer. He was uninjured in the collision and cooperative with officers.

Based on the driver’s statements as well as statements from several witnesses, officers determined that the victim had attempted to cross from the north side of Hartnell Avenue to the south side when she was struck by the oncoming truck.

“The Chevy Trailblazer was traveling eastbound in the right-hand lane of Hartnell Avenue at or near the speed limit,” Montgomery described; saying that the driver was unable to avoid the collision and struck the pedestrian west of Victor Avenue.

Although the nearest crosswalk was just a short distance away at the nearby intersection, the victim had not been using or near it when she entered traffic, the Sergeant added.

Neither alcohol nor drug intoxication were considered to be contributing factors in the collision, according to Montgomery.
