A San Luis Obispo County Animal Services vehicle hit and killed a female pedestrian on Orcutt Road just outside the SLO city limit on Wednesday, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Shortly after 4 p.m., the truck hit the pedestrian as she attempted to cross Orcutt Road near La Lomita Way. The woman, who lived in the area, died at the scene.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Well, we’ve seen Orcutt Rd leveled, and the speed limit lowered, because people not from here, decided they didn’t like the lumpy road. Then, since people were driving too fast for THEIR liking, the speed limit was lowered considerably.


Now, since the road is flat and slow….let’s build our high priced cracker-box homes out here!


I can guarantee, a couple more of those stupid pedestrian crossing light thingies that have clogged up too many streets already, with their highly unconventional lights and rules, will suddenly appear at Johnson and Orcutt, La Lomita, Righetti Rd., Biddle Rd., and Tiffany Ranch, along with the thousands of gallons of green bicycle paint.

Well , my heart goes out to the family of the dead ! Let’s see if the driver is held responsible, chances are we won’t hear anything and the da will sweep it under the table. They are good at that , their famous line is , well there wasn’t enough evidence to conduct beyond a shadow of a doubt.. no judge no jury just the police and Dan Dow . But any other citizen has to prove they are innocent!

Shows just how many people don’t care about wrong and right just the people involved.just like a typical liberal. let’s not forget a man who was falsely accused arrested and lost his kids because the slo pd chief left her gun in a public bathroom unattended. Or Maybe the poor lady in Paso that claimed she was raped by an on duty police officer? All I’m saying is there will likely be no accountability because it was an leo.

Southbound side but walking northbound? Crosses in front of vehicle. Do we think there is any chance of this being deliberate ? Poor woman and if just an accident I feel for the driver too. I guess we need to learn more.
