Update: According to the San Mateo County coroner, the victim was Odalys Linares. She was 16 years old and died at the scene.
Editor's Note: Initial reports indicated the pedestrian struck was male. That information has since been clarified to determine the pedestrian was female.
All lanes have reopened on northbound U.S. Highway 101 in South San Francisco following a fatal pedestrian crash that shut down the freeway for more than two hours Saturday night, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The pedestrian, a woman, was apparently killed in the road near the South Airport Boulevard offramp, according to Sgt. Diana McDermott.
The multi-vehicle collision, which was reported around 8:20 p.m., blocked all northbound lanes. A severe traffic alert was issued around 8:45 p.m.
An investigation is underway to determine how the pedestrian came to be on the roadway. She had already been struck when she was found by authorities.

First, my sympathies to the family and friends of the young woman. Chris, while I respect your taking the time to share your view, is it respectful of others to post a comment like this? Or are you just trying to stir (as seems likely) a reaction? An article involving a young life cut short doesn't seem the time to open a debate about women's equality. But that's just me....
@ Chris Corbett: Get out much. Women go and do the same things your gender participates in. Your comment seems a bit neanderthal.
Someone once said if we're not part of the solution, we're probably part of the problem. Your comments are sensationalized in my opinion!
That means all of us, but you personalized it. You also are mentally weak to have to use the choice of language that you do in order to get your points across. IE (Moron and Piece of Crap) Keep it up (you probably) won't be here long. My biggest point is: Let the authorities do their job. If you were Michael Stogner I would adhere to your/his points but you are not, you act more like a Jerry Springer type.
