BERKELEY, CA — A 70-year-old Berkeley woman was struck and killed Tuesday by a van as she attempted to cross a Richmond street, according to police.

The woman, identified by the Contra Costa County coroner's office as Norma Supapo of Berkeley, was not in a crosswalk as she tried to cross Carlson Boulevard between San Jose and Van Fleet avenues, Richmond police

spokesman Lt. Felix Tan said.

The driver of the van wasn't able to see Supapo because of another car that was making a left turn in the lane next to him, according to Tan.
