Full Notification

Just before 7 a.m. this morning, patrol officers from the San Leandro Police Department responded to the intersection of E.14th Street and Fairmont Drive on the report of a traffic collision involving a pedestrian.
 
When officers arrived on the scene, they found an elderly woman in the roadway that had been struck by a passing vehicle and suffering from significant injuries. Officers and medical personnel attempted extensive life-saving measures however the pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene.
 
Witnesses stated the elderly victim was standing at the bus stop on E.14th Street possibly waiting for the bus. The woman then stepped off of the curb and into the roadway when she was struck by a passing vehicle in the traffic lane.
 
"This is an active traffic investigation but I can say that visibility may be a factor in the case," said Lieutenant Isaac Benabou. "It is dark in those early morning hours but in today's case, visibility was even more restricted due to the fog. Our sincere condolences go out to the victim and everyone involved in this tragic accident."
 
The identity of the victim is not being released at this time pending the notification to the family by the Alameda County Coroner's Office. The driver of the vehicle remained on scene and is cooperating with the police investigation.
