Hit by a car. Friends identify her as 37 year old Julia Elkin, out for a jog. >> Tremendous future ahead of her. >> Elkin had just landed her dream job at Sonoma Land Trust, her alma mater. The University of Michigan posted that the accident left her with a traumatic brain injury. Police say she died Sunday night. >> I've met her on many occasions and she stands out. She's how you'd want your kids to be open and fresh, honest, thoughtful, smart. >> We spotted car after car roll through the stop sign that goes down hill on Morin, where the crash happened. Drivers coming from the opposite direction have to step on the gas to make it uphill. It's a gamble for those out walking these narrow streets . >> It's always the same thing. Are the cars going to stop you know? Do they see me and just so people in this crosswalk can see cars coming up the hill behind them, they've got a mirror here. Slow down. Be careful. >> Berkeley City Council member Rashi Kesarwani posting. On next Tuesday's council meeting would adjourn in memory of Elkin. Former coworkers remembering her at Tuesday's Marin County supervisors meeting while adopting a plan to increase safety in the streets, she brought extraordinary light, positivity and skill to her work and to her life and her loss is an unspeakable tragedy to her family and to her friends. There's now a makeshift memorial , a bouquet tied to the stop sign where Elkin was hit as the woman known for her giving spirit paid it forward. One last time. She's so generous. >> She gave all her organs. >> That was José Horta reporting. Berkeley police say they could not confirm whether she was in the crosswalk or not. And they are still investigating, trying to figure out what led up to
