A woman fatally struck by a vehicle on Interstate Highway 680 in Walnut Creek late Monday night has been identified by the Contra Costa County coroner’s office as 42-year-old Lafayette resident Rebecca Pulling.
Pulling died in a collision reported at 10:46 p.m. within a construction zone on southbound Highway 680 just north of North Main Street, according to the California Highway Patrol.
A worker in the construction zone had reported to the CHP that a pedestrian was walking on the highway. She was struck in the No. 4 southbound lane by a Chrysler Sebring and died at the scene. The Sebring driver was not
injured and cooperated with investigators.
Investigators do not yet know why Pulling ended up on the highway. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the CHP’s Contra Costa-area office at 925-646-4980.

Very sad. You would think someone saw her when she got onto the freeway. If there is no car broken down why would she walk on the freeway.
May she rest in peace. Thank you Aunt Barbara for the FB link. It seems she was both struggling and had a lot to look forward to.
Very sad for all involved. Prayers to their family and friends.
Suicide.
I did not know her, but I just checked out her FB page and I really felt that we could have been friends. Rest in peace.
Me too.
