In a crash and death that might have an awful similarity to the crash and death of Alexandria Tereshka in 2018, Police today announced another pedestrian fatality near Highway 22 and Capital Manor.

| Westbound Edgewater ramp to Highway 22 |
From Salem PD:
A west Salem resident injured in a collision with a vehicle on May 11 has died.
The collision between the pedestrian and the driver of a van occurred at the Edgewater ST NW on-ramp to westbound Salem-Dallas HW at approximately 1:25 a.m. that Saturday morning.
Officers and medical personnel responded and aided the pedestrian, identified as 62-year-old Patricia Ann Estrada. She was transported to Salem Health with life-threatening injuries.
The Salem Police Traffic Team’s preliminary investigation revealed that Estrada was positioned on the shoulder of the on-ramp and moved into the van's path as the driver proceeded to access the highway.
The van driver, Melodi Lynn Kraemer, age 43 of Dallas, called for police and stayed at the scene.
Estrada, who was hospitalized, died from her injuries on Sunday evening, May 26.
Drivers are gunning it here to attain speed for Highway 22, and the view is hemmed in. It might not be adequately lit. Additionally, despite ODOT's wishes, there are occasional campsites nearby a person might want to reach. A befuddled elderly resident of Capital Manor, too, might be out wandering.

| Signed for 50mph at merge point |
Highway speed is just wildly inappropriate for the urban context here. Lower speeds would allow for unexpected people — or deer or other wildlife — to become visible with greater allowances for stopping distance and greater odds of survival after any impact.
