The pedestrian killed in Old Town North last month was walking within a marked crosswalk with an active countdown on the pedestrian beacon signal, according to a recently released search warrant affidavit.
The 62-year-old victim, identified by the Alexandria Police Department as Norma Floyd-Sayles, was struck by a Chevrolet Suburban and killed while crossing at the intersection of St. Asaph and Montgomery Streets around 5:30 p.m. Monday, April 20. The 46-year-old male driver stopped approximately 40 feet from where police found her body and called 911 to report the incident, according to the affidavit.
Floyd-Sayles was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver has not been charged and the incident remains under investigation, according to APD. The search warrant affidavit is part of that investigation — the Suburban has a windshield-mounted dash camera, and the investigating officer is looking into a Class 1 misdemeanor charge of careless driving resulting in injury or death.
“Video surveillance footage was obtained of the incident showing [the suspect’s] black Chevrolet Suburban making a left turn onto westbound Montgomery Street from N. St. Asaph Street and striking Ms. Floyd-Sayles while she was walking within the pedestrian crosswalk with an active countdown on the pedestrian beacon,” according to the search warrant affidavit.
