Janice Walker Obituary Death Announcement: 70-year-old Janice Walker Passes Away Following Collision with a Fast-Moving Vehicle

 SAN ANTONIO — Officials are currently probing a deadly accident that resulted in the death of 70-year-old Janice Walker, who was hit while seated on her front porch late on Tuesday evening. The San Antonio Police Department is diligently working to understand the series of events that caused a speeding automobile to leave Dafoste Avenue and crash into her home.

The incident took place around 10:55 p.m., when authorities report that a Mercedes sedan was unable to navigate a sharp 90-degree bend. The car went over the curb, hit Walker, and then crashed into the front part of her house. Walker was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she eventually succumbed to her injuries.

Investigators have confirmed that the driver fled the accident on foot. Although a neighbor tried to stop him, he escaped before the police arrived. Authorities state that the suspect will face charges related to a fatal collision once he is apprehended.

Detectives are examining witness accounts, physical evidence gathered at the crash site, and surveillance video from surrounding homes and businesses in their effort to identify and track down the driver. They are also considering factors such as the vehicle's speed, the condition of the road, and whether any impairment influenced the incident.

Marie Rose, a neighbor who saw the crash occur, has provided investigators with a thorough description of the vehicle's speed, its path, and the driver's attempt to escape. Her account is now included in the ongoing investigation.

City officials along with traffic specialists are assessing the area after residents expressed concerns about the absence of curve warning signs and the removal of hedges that once acted as a protective barrier. Authorities have recognized that speed seems to have played a significant role in the incident and are evaluating the need for further roadway safety enhancements.

No one has been arrested thus far, and the investigation continues. Police are encouraging anyone with relevant information, especially those who may have seen the driver before or after the incident, to reach out to the San Antonio Police Department as soon as possible.
