A pedestrian died after she was critically injured when she was struck by a vehicle Sunday night in Santa Maria.

At approximately 8:40 p.m., Santa Maria Police Department officers, along with personnel from the Santa Maria Fire Department and American Medical Response, were dispatched to the 100 block of West Battles Road regarding numerous reports of a woman struck by a vehicle, police Lt. Jason Zickuhr said.

The 39-year-old woman was crossing Battles Road outside of a marked crosswalk when she was struck by the westbound vehicle, Sgt. Shane Armstrong said.

Firefighters and AMR personnel immediately began life-saving measures at the scene, police added. 

The critically injured pedestrian was transported to Marian Regional Medical Center, but later died.

The pedestrian’s name and hometown will be released after authorities have notified her family members.

Patrol officers began the initial investigation, and the department’s Traffic Unit members responded to the scene to continue the investigation. 

“At this time, DUI is not suspected,” Zickuhr said. 

The driver, a 36-year-old Santa Maria resident, remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators, police added.

Additional details were not released.

West Battles Road was closed at South Broadway for a time Sunday night due to the investigation, and police asked motorists to avoid the area.
