The victim, a pedestrian, walked - not in a crosswalk - across the eastbound lanes at the above address. She stood in the median and then proceeded to walk across the westbound lanes. At that time, one vehicle swerved to avoid hitting the female. However, a second vehicle, a silver Toyota Corolla, was unable to swerve in time and struck the female.
