So sad. Condolences to her family. I almost hit someone at that same location! That corner is extremely dangerous especially when the sun is setting because the sun is in your eyes and you can't see a darn thing. The bushes there don't help the visibility because you can't see when you're coming around the corner. Metro really needs to do something about that corner.
