Officials said Pedrozo was driving a U.S. Postal Service van and exiting a gas station in the 10600 block of Connecticut Avenue when he struck 64-year-old Mairi Nicola Morrison, who was walking on the sidewalk and had entered the driveway apron.
Morrison was taken to a hospital, where she later died from her injuries.
