If you want to blow a minute or two, here's the Google street view; he came off the bridge to the right, and turned onto the road. Just go straight until you come to the crosswalk; that's where Mrs. Garcia was hit.
Hard to tell how fast that crosswalk comes up from the pics, but it does look like the curve makes it a little hard to see, and a crossing sign would probably help.
