A 78-year-old woman died after she was hit by a vehicle while walking near a south Morgan Hill intersection Friday night, police said.
Morgan Hill police responded to the area of Monterey Road just south of Watsonville Road on a report of a collision involving a pedestrian and a motor vehicle about 6:30 p.m. Friday, according to an MHPD press release.
When officers arrived at the scene, they rendered aid to the pedestrian, identified Tuesday by the County Coroner’s Office as Patricia Kambur, 78 of Morgan Hill. Kambur was later pronounced dead by medical personnel at the scene, police said.
The driver of the vehicle that allegedly hit Kambur is a 65-year-old Morgan Hill woman. Police do not think the driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, according to the press release.
The accident is under investigation by the MHPD Traffic Unit and the Santa Clara County Coroner’s Office, police said.
