Encinitas Booze Culture's Body Count

Patch:
An investigation was under way today into the death of a 43-year-old woman who was apparently intoxicated when she was struck by a car in Encinitas.

The pedestrian was struck in the 2600 block of South Coast Highway 101 about 7:45 p.m. Sunday, according to San Diego County sheriff's Sgt. Anthony O'Boyle. Paramedics took her to Scripps La Jolla Hospital, where she died, he said in a statement.

She and another woman apparently ran out in front of a Toyota Corolla driven by a 24-year-old man, who remained at the scene, O'Boyle said, adding the other woman declined treatment.
The 2600 block includes Tower 13 and Las Olas.

Another likely alcohol-related near-fatal crash happened later that evening on Manchester, the same road as 2010's double-fatality DUI.

Three years ago, Marine Sgt. Thomas A. Elliott was killed in a fight outside the Kraken.

In February, the Encinitas City Council condemned so-called "assault weapons," which to our knowledge have never been involved in a fatality in Encinitas.

  1. Kranz is the Clarence Thomas of the City Council - lights are on, but nobodys home.

  2. City Council caters to the bar owners and gives lip service to the residents. Vote out all incumbents except Catherine.
