Two people were struck — one fatally — by a car Saturday night in Sierra Vista, police said.
Lourdes Flores, 46, of Coolidge, was pronounced dead at the scene on ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Highway 92 near Snyder Boulevard, said Sgt. Brian Sebastian, a Sierra Vista Police Department spokesman, in a news release.
Flores and a companion were attempting to cross in an unmarked and dimly lit section of the highway, just south of Snyder at about 8:30p.m. Both were struck by a car traveling north, Sebastian said.
Witnesses remained at the scene and some administered life-saving measures to Flores until police and emergency medical personnel arrived and took over treatment, said Sebastian. The man, who was accompanying her, suffered serious injuries and was flown to a ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ hospital.
The driver remained at the scene and preliminary findings do not indicate drugs or alcohol were involved in the crash. The investigation is continuing.
