Ortiz v. City of Santa Clarita CA2/7
Sandra Ortiz appeals from a judgment entered after the trial court granted the summary judgment motion filed by the City of Santa Clarita (City). Ortiz was hit by a vehicle while walking across the Sierra Highway in Santa Clarita at night after leaving a market alongside the highway. The location where Ortiz crossed was more than 400 feet from an unmarked crosswalk and 0.7 miles from a marked crosswalk. Ortiz sued the City for a dangerous condition of public property under Government Code section 835.

Ortiz also argues in her supplemental briefing that she presented evidence showing the City knew or should have known the accident location constituted a dangerous condition in sufficient time to prevent the accident. We affirm.
