The 71-year-old Ohio woman who was struck by a vehicle while crossing Highway 50 in South Lake Tahoe on Sept. 15 has died.

Washoe County coroner’s officials told Lake Tahoe News that Betty Petrick died Sept. 18 at Renown Medical Center in Reno.

South Lake Tahoe Police Chief Brian Uhler said no charges are expected to be filed against the Butte County man who hit her.

“Unfortunately in our city we have too many bicycle and pedestrian accidents,” Uhler said.
