Police said the woman, identified as Ouanah Sapien, 56, was struck by a white Ford Ranger pickup truck on Piner Road west of Marlow Road at 7:08 p.m. Monday. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the vehicle, identified as a 35-year-old Santa Rosa man, stayed at the scene of the collision and cooperated with police. Neither drugs nor alcohol appear to be factors in the collision but it was raining at the time.
