SAN DIEGO – An SUV struck and killed a 63-year-old woman as she was crossing a street in the Talmadge area, police said Tuesday.

It happened around 5:00 PM Monday in the 4600 block of El Cajon Boulevard, between 46th and 47th streets, police said.

A 79-year-old man was driving a 2008 Lexus SUV westbound on El Cajon Boulevard near Menlo Avenue when he struck the pedestrian as she was attempting to cross El Cajon Boulevard southbound outside a crosswalk.

The woman was trapped under the SUV before crews freed her and took her to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, the officer said. The victim’s name was withheld pending family notification.

The SUV driver remained at the scene and intoxication was not believed to have been a factor in the crash.
