Woman Run Over After Peninsula Fender-Bender
REDWOOD CITY (BCN) ―
A woman checking damage from a minor traffic accident was struck and killed by a passing vehicle in Redwood City Monday morning, according to police.
The San Mateo County coroner's office has identified the woman as 63-year-old Cherrill Spivey of Castro Valley.

At about 7:20 a.m., a southbound vehicle hit her and threw her underneath the parked construction truck, according to police.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 45-year-old man who allegedly hit her reported the collision and is cooperating with authorities.
