Last night at 10:44 p.m. the Modesto Police Department along with E.M.S. crews was dispatched to the intersection of Standiford Ave. and Longbridge Dr. just west of Tully Rd. for reports that a pedestrian had been struck by a passing motorist while attempting to cross Standiford Ave.

When crews arrived they found that the pedestrian who is only being described as a 40 year old woman, had sustained substantial injuries during the collision and she was transported to an area hospital for treatment.

This is a Press Release from the Modesto Police Department:

"The Modesto Police Department's Traffic Unit is investigating a late night fatal traffic accident in north Modesto.




On Friday November 18, 2011 at around 10:44 pm, Modesto police officers responded to a report of a vehicle vs. a pedestrian traffic accident at the intersection of Standiford Avenue and Longbridge Avenue. When medical personnel and patrol officers arrived they discovered an adult female pedestrian had been struck by a vehicle and was suffering from serious life threatening injuries. She was quickly transported to a local hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries. Her identity will not be released until next of kin has been notified.




The preliminary investigation has revealed the female pedestrian was walking with a friend on the south side of Standiford Avenue. At one point the two attempted to walk across Standiford Avenue, in a northbound direction, near Longbridge Avenue. A Ford passenger vehicle that was traveling westbound on Standiford Avenue, struck the female pedestrian.




At this early stage in the investigation the exact cause of the collision continues to be under investigation, however, investigators believe neither alcohol nor drug use appear to be a factor in this collision.

Westbound traffic at Standiford Avenue at Tully Road was diverted for several hours, as the scene was processed by traffic investigators."

Westbound Standiford Ave. from Tully Rd. to the Longbridge Dr. intersection was closed down for several hours into the early morning as police conducted their initial investigation.

Modesto News .org was there in order to bring you this footage from the traffic accident scene along with this written account of what happened.
