The forced pushed the Honda into the westbound lanes, where the car struck a pedestrian, a 57-year-old woman from Ramona, who was walking east on the shoulder, Pennings said.

The Honda continued down an embankment and struck a power pole. The pole broke off, and power lines went across both lanes of the highway, Pennings said.
