Woman fatally struck by car while crossing Arden Arcade intersection

Pedestrian fatality

A woman was stuck and killed by a passing car Thursday afternoon while crossing an Arden Arcade intersection, said California Highway Patrol officials in the patrol’s East Sacramento office.

The fatal collision happened about 1:30 p.m., as the woman crossed Marconi Avenue from the south just west of Burnece Street. The driver of a Toyota sedan was driving in the No. 2 westbound lane of Marconi when the car struck the unidentified woman. Neither alcohol nor drugs factored in the collision, CHP officials said.

The woman’s identity will be released by Sacramento County coroner’s officials after next of kin are notified.
