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. 
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…..
So sad. Prayers of healing for the family, friends and first responders.
So heartbreaking :( God bless her family.
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
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?
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.
My prayers and condolences go out to her family but especially her boys!!! May God guide them all through this time of mourning
E. Walnut St people cross all the time. I usually stop and let them walk across the street.
😭heart broken today.
Yes they get in a hurry I had to jump out of the way
Prayers!🙏🙏🙏

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.
TRAFFIC TUESDAY REMINDER
School starts back up today for some school districts. Please be aware of flashing yellow lights warning you of the school zone. When children are present and or when lights are flashing/flags are set out the speed limit is 20 MPH. Fines for speed also double in school zones.

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!
