In a tragic incident in Sacramento, California, an elderly woman lost her life after being struck by a pickup truck on Monday evening. The unfortunate event occurred on the 7100 block of Franklin Boulevard shortly after 7 p.m., as reported by the California Highway Patrol.
The victim, who was walking as a pedestrian at the time, was hit by a Ford F150. She was urgently transported to a nearby hospital due to the severity of her injuries. Despite the medical team's best efforts, she was later pronounced dead. The woman was described as an elderly Hispanic individual.
Authorities have investigated the circumstances surrounding the accident. Initial findings indicate that alcohol was not a contributing factor for the driver of the pickup truck. The driver, who remained at the scene, has been cooperating fully with the police investigation.
