Thanks to Gerard for the tip on this; it also came up in the WSB Forums: A 41-year-old woman was hit by a car in the 2200 block of California SW earlier this afternoon. Her injuries were not life-threatening, says Seattle Fire Lt. Sue Stangl – she was taken to the hospital with an ankle injury.
Is there anyway to find out if she was in the crosswalk? Just curious as it is nearly impossible to use the crosswalk as drivers just seem to speed up in that block.
Yes. She was in the crosswalk. The vehicle that struck her was making a left hand turn onto California from Walker. The sun was low and the driver just didn’t see her.
wslady- do you mean from College? There is no marked crosswalk at Walker but there is at College.
Yes, it was in the crosswalk at College and California – as noted by homesweethome above, a dangerous intersection.
Sorry, comment time is over.
