LOS ANGELES, CA — Officials Wednesday released the name of a woman struck and killed by a suspected drunk driver while checking her car for damage along the 101 freeway Monday morning. Rachael Heather Fox, a 47-year-old Los Angeles resident, died in the incident, Los Angeles County coroner's office said. The fatal crash was reported at 4:46 a.m. on the southbound 101 Freeway at Pilgrimage Bridge, near the Hollywood Bowl. Authorities said that while the woman was getting out of her car to check for damage after being involved in a three-car crash just prior, she was hit by a 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer. 22-year-old Adrian Castroramos, who was driving the car, was met by CHP officers at the scene and was "determined to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the collision." He was arrested and CHP said Castroramos suffered minor cuts on his hands from the crash. City News Service contributed to this report.
