    A 67-year-old pedestrian was struck and killed by a pickup truck in a marked crosswalk Friday morning in south Oxnard.

    The pedestrian, identified as Oxnard resident Josefina Romo, was crossing Oxnard Boulevard at Rose Avenue shortly before 5:25 a.m., according to the Oxnard Police Department.

    A 58-year-old Oxnard man was driving a 2002 Ford F-150 pickup southbound on Oxnard Boulevard when he struck her, authorities said.

    Romo was pronounced dead at the scene.

    The driver, who was not injured, remained at the accident site and cooperated with police.

    Investigators don't believe speed, alcohol or drugs contributed to the collision.

    Southbound traffic was blocked for hours in the area for the investigation. All lanes had reopened by about 10:45 a.m., said Sgt. John McBride.

    The investigation is ongoing.

    Anyone with information can contact Traffic Investigator Alexis Arellano at 805-200-5668 or at alexis.arellano@oxnardpd.org.
