A 78-year-old Coachella woman who died in a collision on Dillon Road last week was struck by a vehicle as she stood beside two parked vehicles, investigators said.
Linda Burtenshaw was pronounced dead about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at Dillon and Lamel Drive in Sky Valley, according to the Riverside County Coroner s office. She suffered fatal injuries about 15 minutes earlier.
Burtenshaw had been in one of two vehicles parked along westbound Dillon, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Both vehicles hazard lights were activated and the rear vehicle, a 2020 Infinity, had its hood up.
A 2018 Chevrolet was heading west when it drifted onto the right shoulder and struck the rear of the Infinity before hitting Burtenshaw, who was standing on its left side.
