Woman, 55, Dies After Being Struck by Car
A woman jaywalking across a North Hollywood street was struck by a car and fatally injured, Los Angeles police said Wednesday.
The 55-year-old woman, who police said was a transient, was hit by a car at 6:15 p.m. Tuesday on Riverside Drive near Morella Avenue, Officer Leona Thomas said. She died a short time later at AMI Medical Center of North Hollywood. Her name was not released because authorities had not located her relatives.
Thomas said the woman was crossing Riverside Drive where there was no crosswalk and was not seen by Gloria Peper, 46, of North Hollywood, who was driving eastbound.
Peper was not cited in the accident, Thomas said.
