MariaLuisa Martinez Martinez was hit while crossing the Woodside Road at Veterans Boulevard around 12:11 a.m., police Lt Jeff Clements said.
The driver was traveling eastbound on Woodside Road toward 101, entering the intersection on a green light, when he heard a loud impact, according to Clements. He pulled over and found Martinez on the ground.
Officers immediately began CPR until paramedics arrived to take Martinez to Stanford Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with the police, Clements said. Police said they don’t believe the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The driver volunteered to submit blood tests for further testing, Clements said. The driver’s car was towed to the police department as evidence.
