A woman died late Tuesday evening after she was hit by a car at the intersection of Main Street and Neal Street in downtown Pleasanton, police said.
The Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau confirmed that the victim was 56-year-old Rowena Coronel of Pleasanton. According to the Pleasanton Police Department, the cause of the collision “remains under investigation.”
At around 6:40 p.m. Tuesday, officers responded to a report of a vehicle collision involving a pedestrian at the downtown intersection, police said.
Upon their arrival, officers — along with personnel from the Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department and Falck paramedics — immediately provided medical attention to Coronel. However, after being transported to an area hospital, she eventually succumbed to her injuries and died later that night.
According to police, the driver of the vehicle involved in the collision remained at the scene and is “cooperating with investigators.”
“Impairment does not appear to be a factor in this collision,” police said in a press release Wednesday. “Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has additional information is asked to contact the Pleasanton Police Department at (925) 931-5100.”
Police did not respond to inquiries regarding the age of the driver or the nature of the collision and whether the vehicle had the right of way.
