Woman walking in the roadway struck and killed by driver in Selma

A pedestrian dressed in dark clothing was killed early Wednesday on a Selma roadway when she was struck by a driver who did not see him, the California Highway Patrol reported.

The collision took place just after midnight on Rose Avenue at Amber Avenue.

The CHP said the 56-year-old woman was walking east on Rose when the driver of a Honda Accord, who was also eastbound, struck the woman at a speed of 55 mph.

The pedestrian died at the scene.

Neither alcohol nor drugs are considered a factor in the collision, the CHP said.
