SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- A 40-year-old woman lost her life Wednesday after being struck by a vehicle while crossing an intersection in the Midway District, authorities said.
According to the San Diego Police Department, the woman was in the crosswalk at the south end of 3700 Camino Del Rio West and 3000 Kurtz Street around 9:30 p.m., despite a "don't walk" signal.
