WHITTIER — A 50-year-old Whittier woman died late Friday after being struck by a minivan while crossing Whittier Boulevard, police said.
Carol Gose died at the scene of the crash, Los Angeles County Department of Coroner Investigator Jim Blacklock said.
She was crossing northbound across Whittier Boulevard at Strub Avenue about 10 p.m. when she was struck by the westbound Chrysler minivan, Whittier police said in a written statement.
She had been staying at a nearby motel, police added.
The cause of the crash remained under investigation by Whittier police, who were looking into the possibility that Gose may have been intoxicated when she was struck, Whittier police Lt. Bill Webster said.
Whittier resident Linda Delao said she watched as Gose crossed the street against a red light.
“I thought she would wait for the green light but she didn’t,” she said. “She walked on the red light and the car hit her.
The driver of the minivan, a 33-year-old Whittier woman, was not hurt in the incident, police said. She was also not immediately arrested or cited.
I think I drove by this…Sad news. Was this on Whittier Blvd and Strub??
Such a tragedy! I think I drove by right after this happened. Does anyone know if this was on Whittier Blvd and Strub??
Does anyone have any information on the whereabouts of Carol’s family? I believe her last name is actually spelled “Goss”. I am trying to reach her husband David.

I just read online now that the mag might be coming back on Dec. 1st.
