SAN YSIDRO, Calif. -- A pedestrian struck by a car and killed just north of the international border was identified Friday as a 31-year-old Tijuana woman.
Alma Luz Alfaro Gonzalez was crossing the street in a crosswalk at Paseo de las Americas at Siempre Viva Road when she was hit by a tractor-trailer rig making a right turn just after 6 p.m. Thursday, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office.
San Diego police Officer David Stafford said the woman was talking on her cell phone and ignored a red light.
Witnesses gave aid to the woman and called paramedics, but she died at the scene, the Medical Examiner's Office reported.

honestly... I see folks everyday talking on their phone, walking and not paying the least bit of attention to cars... They drive, too.

Better also include legislation to ban crossing while reading an iPad, or reading a newspaper, or looking at your watch, etc. Yeah.. but that would make at least somewhat sense. Liberal laws are not supposed to make any sense.

You must be careful, two people speaking together across a street on tin cans could garrote a motorcyclist.

You must be careful, two people speaking together across a street on tin cans could garrote a motorcyclist. Riding a unicycle backwards accross the street while wearing blinders is pretty dangerous too.
