A driver struck and killed a 61-year-old San Luis Obispo man who attempted to run across Highway 101 in Pismo Beach Thursday night, according to the CHP.
Mikaela Torres, a 23-year-old from Carpinteria, was driving a 2011 Nissan southbound on Highway 101 north of Five Cities Drive. At approximately 9:12 p.m., the man attempted to run across the southbound lanes into the center median. The man ran directly in the path of Torres’s Nissan. Torres was not able to avoid the man, resulting in a collision that killed the San Luis Obispo resident and caused major damage to the Nissan. Torres sustained major injuries, as well.
It is unclear why the man was running on the highway. The investigation into the fatal collision is ongoing. Officials request that anyone who has information about the crash call Officer Alvarez, the San Luis Obispo CHP Area’s Public Information Officer, at 594-8700.

On the Lincoln Highway: a photographer's journalWhile the Pennsylvania portion of the Lincoln Highway may not be the grandest of roadways, it may be the most American in the manner that it speaks to the fabric of who we are as a country. Between the carnage of Gettysburg and the brave actions of the passengers on Flight 93, you can visit the room where Lincoln penned the Gettysburg Address and the house where abolitionist John Brown plotted a rebellion of slaves. Along the way motorists can cross the Susquehanna River, what is believed to be one of the oldest rivers in the world. It is the place to find “the mystic chords of memory” and “the better angels of our nature” that Lincoln spoke of. This gallery is a supplement to the images in the main presentation of this story.
