Redwood City police have corrected some early information about a fatal pedestrian collision that took place in the early morning of Sept. 22, 100 feet west of the intersection of Woodside Road and Veterans Boulevard.
Originally, it was reported that a witness, who had been walking with the pedestrian, told investigators they were crossing Woodside Road southbound from Veterans Boulevard when the collision occurred. The witness stated he had crossed ahead of the pedestrian and, upon turning back, saw her being struck. The corrected information, according to police, is that the witness reported he and the victim were crossing the intersection, where there was not a designated crosswalk, at the time of the collision.
The victim, a 32-year-old woman, was found the woman lying on the ground, unconscious and without a pulse. Officers began CPR and she was taken to Stanford Hospital where she was pronounced dead, according to police.
The driver, who remained on the scene and was cooperative, reported traveling east on Woodside Road toward Highway 101, entering the intersection on a green light, and hearing a loud impact. He then pulled over and discovered he had struck a pedestrian, according to police.
The driver was determined not to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs and voluntarily submitted to a PAS test and blood draw. The vehicle was towed to the Redwood City Police Department as evidence.
This collision remains under active investigation by the Redwood City Police Department. Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has additional information is encouraged to contact the Redwood City Police Department Traffic Unit at (650) 780-7100.
