Victim Struck and Killed by Vehicle on Merle Haggard Drive in Oildale ID’d as Rosa Orellana

Oildale, California (May 21, 2020) – 91-year-old Rosa Orellana has been identified as the woman who was struck and killed by a pickup truck after she entered the highway in the area of Oildale at approximately 5:30 p.m. May 15.

The initial report indicated that Orellana was collecting cans and bottles near McCray Street before the Friday evening collision.

Sadly, Orellana was pronounced dead at the crash site.

Details regarding the driver of the pickup were not immediately established at the time of the report.

The fatal accident remains under an active investigation.

 A person on foot is no match for a large, multi-ton vehicle. Pedestrians have virtually no protection when they are hit by cars, motorcycles, trucks, and other vehicles. Sadly, this often leads to catastrophic injuries and/or death.
