Woman Struck, Killed By Car In Vallejo

VALLEJO, CA — Vallejo police said a 23-year-old woman from Kern County was killed Tuesday night when she was struck by a vehicle. Police have identified her but the Solano County coroner's office said it couldn't release her name yet.

Vallejo police responded around 7 p.m. to a pedestrian-vehicle collision on Lewis Brown Drive east of Sonoma Boulevard. The Kern County woman was found lying on the south side of Lewis Brown Drive in front of a furniture store.

A man whose eastbound Kia Soul struck the woman remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation, police Lt. Michael Nichelini said.

The woman was not in a crosswalk when she was hit between Sonoma Boulevard and Broadway Street, Nichelini said. She was taken to a hospital where she died.

The woman appeared to be homeless or a transient and her last known address was in Bakersfield, Nichelini said.

It was the first fatal collision in Vallejo this year. There were four fatal collisions in the city at this time last year, and a total of 14 fatal collisions in 2018, Nichelini said.
