ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥

Police were called to West Valencia Road and South Eighth Avenue after 10 a.m. on Feb. 5 for reports of a pedestrian struck.

According to witnesses, the woman who was struck was attempting to cross Valencia Road from north to south and was not in a crosswalk when she was hit by a 2001 Honda Accord.

ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Fire medics treated the woman, whose name has not been released, and took her to a local hospital with life threatening injuries. Police were informed Sunday, Feb. 13, that she died from those injuries.

Police determined the 19-year-old driver, who stopped immediately and stayed on scene, was not impaired.

Although the investigation is ongoing, police said charges are unlikely and believe that midblock crossing was a major factor in the collision.

This is the 18th fatality on ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ roadways this year, according to TPD data, outstripping last year's pace of seven fatalities at this point in 2021.
