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.
