CINCINNATI -- A driver struck and killed a woman as she was crossing Harrison Avenue in Westwood early Friday morning, police said.
A man driving a 2003 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck hit and killed 60-year-old Billie Ellery at 1:40 a.m. as she was crossing the street near 2332 Harrison Avenue, Capt. David Fink said. Fink said the woman was not in a crosswalk.
A WCPO analysis found police identified nearby 1500 block of Harrison Avenue as a hot spot for crashes involving pedestrians. Nine intersections saw the most pedestrian-involved crashes between 2014 and 2016; two of them were along Harrison Avenue.
An online survey from the City of Cincinnati shows people have complained about pedestrians jaywalking near Cora Avenue, especially at night.
