After a San Antonio woman was hit and killed while trying to cross the street, her husband is sharing her story in the hopes that it never happens again.

“It’s still so surreal to wake up and not see her,” Oscar Villarreal said.

Josefina Morales Villarreal, 63, died last Wednesday after being hit by a car on Roosevelt Avenue. She was a mother and a grandmother, and she’s not the first person to die in a crash like this on Roosevelt, between Loop 410 and Sava Street.

“It’s dangerous,” Oscar Villarreal said. “She was coming back home from the Dollar General ... and the worst scenario came true.”

KSAT first reported what happened on the day of the crash. On Wednesday, KSAT reported on the woman who has handmade dozens of crosses marking traffic fatalities on this stretch of Roosevelt.
