A vehicle fatally struck an 80-year-old pedestrian Wednesday as she was walking across a driveway in a commercial area near Lake Murray.
The woman was struck by a vehicle pulling out of the driveway in front of a Costco store in the 8100 block of Fletcher Parkway in La Mesa shortly after noon, according to police.
Paramedics took the woman to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, Lt. Travis Higgins said. Her name was withheld pending family notification.
The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and drugs or alcohol do not appear to be a factor in this collision, Higgins said.
