A woman had been recently discharged from Woodland Heights Medical Center and was waiting for her ride. Before her ride arrived, she decided to walk across the street to McDonalds and was hit by a pickup traveling northbound in the inside lane. The driver of a sport-utility vehicle traveling in the outside lane said she saw the woman cross suddenly. She said she was able to swerve and miss the woman, but the driver of the pickup traveling in the inside lane did not have that opportunity. The driver of the pickup, who was visibly shaken, said she did not have to time to stop after realizing the woman was in the road.
