NEWS RELEASE - VEHICLE VS. PEDESTRIAN FATALITY

On 08/25/2026 at approximately 10:36pm, a motorist called 9-1-1 reporting they had struck a pedestrian in the 100 block of N 5th Ave. The preliminary investigation showed that the pedestrian, a 38-year-old Yakima woman, was crossing N 5th Ave mid-block when she was struck by a northbound vehicle.

YPD officers, along with Yakima Fire and AMR Ambulance responded, and the pedestrian was transported to Yakima MultiCare with significant head trauma where she was later pronounced deceased.

The Yakima Police Department Traffic Unit responded to investigate and interviewed the driver, who was cooperative with the investigation. Intoxicants are not suspected as a contributing circumstance for this collision.

I remember when I did my drivers test the only question I missed was where do pedestrians have the right of way my answer was everywhere they marked it wrong sais

My thoughts and prayers go out to the driver because I’m sure they feel so awful, the family of the deceased, and the first responders who had to witness the aftermath of this. It’s an all around terrible situation.

Give credit to the caller for doing the right thing. I've had people purposely jump out in front of me on 1st street.

This victim was wearing pink headphones. So she didn’t hear the car. However, I’m not sure why she didn’t see the vehicles headlights in her peripheral vision. 

So heartbreaking :( God bless her family.

So sad. Prayers of healing for the family, friends and first responders.

Why does this happen SO MUCH in this town. People need to pay attention. Im so sorry to the family.

So sad prayers being sent up

Kali Alvarez ..... omg dude

The school at 72nd and Nob Hill is the worst school area for traffic control. Adults in the picj up area do not follow traffic rules. I will go way around to miss it. I too am worried about those guards. I always thot there should be a pick up spot on the east side of the church.

I’m so sorry Katie …. U will be missed u were loved my many!! Love u so much u will be missed!!! God please be with her and her kids!! 💔💔💔😭😭tragic news to open Facebook and see this…..

What is the speed limit in that area. I know going down Yakima ave you drive really slow, so if by chance you hit someone, you shouldn't be able to do that much damage.

So many pedestrian vs car fatalities lately, has anyone else noticed this?

E. Walnut St people cross all the time. I usually stop and let them walk across the street.

Yes they get in a hurry I had to jump out of the way

Prayers!🙏🙏🙏

Oh nooo

She passed away omg she was my friend

R.i.p

ANY NEWS ON WHO? SHE WAS?Some of these homeless people don't give a shit..they walk right in front of on coming traffic 🙄 people with no where else to go.. My Deepest Condolences to Her family and friends..R.I.P.

When I was driving on Yakima ave near AMPM multiple people have walked right in front of my car as I’m driving down that road as amongst 1st street especially they don’t look at all it’s so crazy too me how nobody thinks too look anymore and a guy riding a bike with a CHILD in the back just starting crossing at a crosswalk didn’t think too push the button first I guess then go and the light was clearly green for me too pass. Day by day I feel I’m gonna actually end up hitting someone the amount of times I’ve had to honk is wild

I have a concern for the children they have doing the crossing guard jobs on 72nd and Nob Hill!! That's already a very busy intersection with multiple wrecks all the time. Yesterday morning was extremely chaotic and YPD was even directing traffic cuz it was so much chaos. So the little girl across the street with no adult with her was literally standing IN THE ROAD to tell traffic to stop!!! Do they tell children to stand in the actual road or is that something she did entirely on her own not knowing better? The adult was across the street on the other corner not paying any attention to this little girl standing in the road to stop traffic!! Sheeesh!!!! I'd be irate if that was my child.

This past week I’ve had a couple people nearly jump in front of my car! I’ve had to slow down and they were literally inches away from my car! I almost felt compelled to stop n let them cross.

Some of y'all harping on 1st st by the mission and Yakima Ave down by the ampm and most are high folks not paying attention crossing the street and it is a major problem. But this incident happened on the 100 block of N 5th ave, a stretch of road between Banner Bank on Yakima Ave and Safeway on Lincoln. At night time that stretch of road is mostly empty and what few drivers going through there at night are speeding and during the day, well I can't count the times I've been almost hit WHILE IN THE CROSSWALK WITH A CROSS SIGNAL, by someone running that light or someone turning off of Lincoln onto 5th cause their too busy on their dam phone. And there isn't even a crosswalk at A st. Stop blaming these ppl being hit, y'all are the ones driving the killing machine and last time I checked, crosswalk or not, pedestrians have the right away. With the cleared up, this sounds like a horrible accident and my condolences and prayers for all who were involved. A thank you to the driver for stopping and calling 911.

The pedestrian rules have changed. They walk in the middle of the freeway and on sides of roads and not at cross walks anymore. Even the bikes don't use the sidewalks anymore..

CSO WEEKLY

As every

CSO WEEKLY

As everyone gets back into the school routine, the Community Service Officers want to remind you to take a few extra seconds to make sure your backyards, front and back doors, and gates are properly secured before leaving home.

With the morning rush, it could be the difference between keeping your pet safe or finding them wandering in the neighborhood.

Make sure your pet has a proper collar, microchip, and if possible, AirTag or tracking device. These simple steps can help reduce the number of loose dogs and help get lost pets home safely.

Parents: Remind your kiddos to never approach or pet a strange dog they encounter on the street.

The Community Service Officers want to welcome all the kiddos and teachers back to school and wish everyone a safe and successful school year!

I always try to secure anywhere my dog can get out from but he always finds a way to get out, what can I do if my dog don’t listen ?

Some people just don't care about making sure their pets are secured sadly. I've seen many loose and wondering animals while I'm out delivering orders.
