Here's something depressing, and I highly suspect it's related to the
use of anti-depressants, because if it were alcohol or if any drug
related paraphernalia had been found it would have been clearly
stated... Immediately.
My guess is hormonal imbalances caused by pregnancy, combined with
hormonal rape cause by these so-called 'life-saving drugs'.
If it turns out to be alcohol related, I will inform the list and
stand corrected.
If it is legal medication related, we will only know by the lack of
mention in the follow-ups stories, by attending any potential inquest,
or by observing the legal documentation generated.
[Note: Last year at this time I was living about a half mile beyond
where this accident occurred and walked/biked to & from Boulder Creek
regularly. It is a two-lane winding road with shoulders narrow to
mostly none, and a speed limit of 45mph, which is laughably
unenforceable considering it is one of the 'back ways' to highway 92
into the SF bay area and a popular route for tourists.]
Pedestrian killed on Highway 9

BOULDER CREEK — A pedestrian was killed on Highway 9 north of Bear
Creek Road at 8:30 p.m. Monday after an apparently intoxicated
pregnant woman drove off the road and hit her, emergency dispatchers
and the California Highway Patrol reported.
The CHP was still trying to piece together late Monday exactly what happened.
A Boulder Creek Fire Department crew was first on the scene, about a
quarter-mile above Bear Creek. Rescuers discovered the driver had run
her red pickup off the road and into an embankment, according to
dispatch and fire reports. The woman was unruly and appeared to be
intoxicated, the CHP reported on its Web site. Concerned that the
driver was having contractions, the CHP had her taken by ambulance to
Dominican Hospital in Santa Cruz, dispatchers said.
Believing the incident was over, crews began returning to the downtown station.
Shortly after the driver was taken away, "we had a person walk into
the station and tell us that he thought there was a pedestrian that
might have gotten hit," said Assistant Chief Steve McClish.
Firefighters returned to the scene and found a woman lying about a
quarter-mile south of where the accident occurred, McClish said.
Efforts to revive her were unsuccessful, and she was pronounced dead
at the scene, according to dispatcher reports.
No additional information was available late Monday.
