Via the Press Democrat came news that the boy who was struck by a car in a Santa Rosa crosswalk has died. The mother says the first driver to approach the crosswalk waited for her and her 3 children to begin crossing, but the suspect in the adjoining lane hit the gas and struck the child; catapulting him into the air in front of his siblings and mother. The ignorant driver was cleverly caught by police just an hour later, through a tip he had hitched a ride with a woman in a Volvo with a recorded license plate number. The suspect is in his 20's, Latino, and has been cited multiple times in the past for operating a motor vehicle without a license. The driver is now charged with felony hit-and-run; and will hopefully finally face justice. The child is survived by a twin sister and a 6 year old sister. R.I.P.
and via Marin Independent Journal comes word a 52 year old bicyclist was struck as a car veered into it's path along the shoulder of Tiburon Boulevard around 4 p.m. yesterday. The bicyclist was jettisoned off the bike, but sustained only moderate injury and is reported in good condition at Marin General Hospital. The right lane was reopened to traffic within the hour. No word on if the 70-year-old driver pissed himself.
