She suffered blunt force head injuries. The manner of death is still under investigation.Nampa police said the crash happened around 7:22 a.m. when dispatchers received 911 calls reporting a person down in the roadway. Officers, paramedics and firefighters responded.Investigators said Just was on a routine walk and was crossing in the crosswalk when she was hit by a vehicle turning onto northbound 7th Avenue South.Nampa residents Jimmy and Cheryl Whistler live steps from the intersection and say a growing number of serious accidents there have been a persistent concern for the five years they have called the area home."Living at a four-way stop thinking, four-way stop, that's, that's safe. Everyone's stopping, not high rate of speed, but that's not true," Cheryl Whistler said.The couple says their concerns deepened after Monday's fatal crash, which came just days after Jimmy Whistler said he nearly experienced a close call at the same intersection."Having the near miss of almost being run over last week and then the lady that passed away this morning, we started talking about what's important in life, you know, money is not important. What's more important is the time you get to spend with each other and with your family. So we're kind of refocusing," Jimmy Whistler said.The crash comes during what is known as the 100 Deadliest Days of Summer the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day that historically sees an increase in serious and fatal crashes as more people travel and spend time outdoors. The Whistlers say that even with potential changes at the intersection, fear continues to grow as Idaho's population and the number of drivers on local roads increases."I think it's more about personal responsibility. We've all accidentally cut somebody off. We've all turned in front of somebody. Give them the benefit of the doubt, you know, just relax and and treat each other kindly and take your own personal responsibility. I think if we do that, we could see some changes," Jimmy Whistler said.Nampa police are still investigating the crash. Investigators do not believe alcohol was a factor, but are working to determine whether sunlight at the time of the crash may have contributed.For Canyon County happenings, news, and more join our Facebook Group: 2C Neighborhood News - Nampa, Caldwell, MiddletonThis story was initially reported by a journalist and has been, in part, converted to this platform with the assistance of AI.
