More accident info

Here is a new article on the accident - It's really sad. It was a 24 year old girl. Unbelievable. Can you imagine? They are not releasing her name until her family is notified. Imagine if your 24 year old lived out here and you got a call saying she was hit & killed? Horrible.

Woman Hit By Car, Killed On SF's Fell Street

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5 / AP) ― A 24-year-old San Francisco woman died early Tuesday morning after being struck by a car, police said.

The woman was crossing Fell Street at Broderick Street about 6:20 a.m. when she was hit by a four-door Honda traveling west on Fell Street, police spokeswoman Sgt. Lyn Tomioka said.

It was not immediately clear whether the woman had been in a crosswalk at the time. The impact threw the woman "a significant distance" from the intersection, Tomioka said.

The 19-year-old man driving the Honda stopped at the scene and was not arrested, though Tomioka said prosecutors could weigh charging him "because the driver is required to drive with due caution," she said.

"Apparently, another car had stopped (for the woman) at the intersection and this vehicle went around it," Tomioka said.

Tomioka said the driver was not from San Francisco but was heading to work in the city at the time.

The name of the woman is not yet being releasing pending notification of her family.

The incident is still under investigation, and police are still interviewing witnesses, Tomioka said.
