The sun had set and California roads were blanketed in darkness at 10:30 on Sunday night. A female pedestrian was walking on the on-ramp to the Harbor 110 Freeway in Wilmington. Initial reports indicated that the woman was wearing dark-colored clothing as she walked, making her difficult to see. At approximately 10:34, a pickup truck drove along the on-ramp and did not notice the pedestrian until it was too late. The pickup struck her, knocking her to the ground.
