A 69-year-old woman has died after being hit by a car in a Honolulu Zoo parking lot, a tragedy with no winners.

• A 32-year-old man backing out of a parking space struck the woman as she walked behind his vehicle on Friday afternoon.
• She was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and later died from her injuries.
• This marks the sixth traffic-related death on Oahu recently, pointing to a troubling pattern of pedestrian accidents on the island.

Outlook: Local authorities will likely review parking lot safety and pedestrian precautions at high-traffic sites like the zoo.
