April 15, 2024 (Pine Valley) – A Pine Valley woman, 61, was struck and killed Saturday morning while walking on the shoulder along Pine Boulevard south of Rocky Pass. The victim was Mary Lombard Stewart, according to her husband, Brian Stewart.
 
“The sirens were for my wife Mary, who was struck from behind while walking to our house on Valley View Trail,” he posted on Facebook. “My wife did not survive the impact.”

 
According to her Facebook page, Mary Lombard Stewart was born in Brewer, Maine and had worked at the National School District in National City. 
 
She was walking south on Pine Blvd. at 11:07 a.m. when a 2016 Ford F-550 driven by a 36-year-old Pine Valley man drifted onto the shoulder and struck Stewart, causing fatal injuries.
 
“Alcohol and/or drug impairment do not appear to be a factor in the crash,” says Officer Jared Grieshaber with the California Highway Patrol.
