Elderly pedestrian who was struck by a car succumbs to injuries

An 86-year-old Burbank woman has died from injuries she sustained after being struck by a car earlier this month.

According to authorities Arzelia Pisani was walking in an unmarked crosswalk on Lima Street near Magnolia Boulevard Nov. 17 around 12:30 p.m. when she was struck by a black Dodge Charger. The car had been traveling northbound on Lima and was in the process of making a right turn onto Magnolia.

Pisani sustained a “significant head injury” from the collision, Burbank police said. The driver of the vehicle, a 32-year-old Sylmar resident, stayed at the scene and cooperated with authorities.
