Multiple agencies are investigating an incident involving an SUV that crashed into the McDonald's at Tanque Verde and Kolb around 11:00 a.m. Saturday.
According to Sgt. Dugan with TPD, the SUV was traveling northbound on Kolb and as they were turning left onto Tanque Verde, the driver lost control of the SUV, hopped over the left turn median and into the southbound lanes of Grant.
Dugan says the vehicle continued moving, drove over the sidewalk, hit a pedestrian, and crashed through the fence near McDonald's.
The pedestrian, 54-year-old Barbara Angiolini, was standing on the sidewalk near the intersection and was hit by the car after it lost control. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver and the passenger were taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Three customers inside the restaurant have minor injuries and were not taken to the hospital.
It has been determined that the driver was not impaired, but speed appears to be a factor.
Detectives are actively investigating the incident.
