San Diego Pedestrian Accident Kills Woman After Being Struck by Tour Bus

By Ross Jurewitz

An Arizona tourist suffered was killed in a San Diego pedestrian accident after she was hit by a San Diego Seal Tours vehicle in Downtown San Diego on March 18, 2010. This pedestrian accident happened at West Harbor Drive and Pacific Highway around 5 p.m.

When police officers arrived on the scene, they found a young woman lying in the street. According to police, the amphibious tour bus hit her as she was crossing Pacific Highway illegally. The bus driver on the vehicle sits about 17-feet from the ground and never saw the pedestrian coming. A passenger on the bus saw the accident and yelled ?Stop?. The bus driver then exited the vehicle and started to do CPR on the woman. She was transported to UCSD Hospital with serious injuries and later died.

Our office sends our prayers and condolences to the pedestrian?s family. The loss of any human life is always tragic and this accident is no exception. We once again urge all pedestrians to be more vigilant while on the road, especially when you are crossing it. Always cross the road from the designated area, only after you have checked that no vehicle is coming. Following these simple rules can save your life.
