STUDENT PEDESTRIANS HIT IN CROSSWALKS IN PLEASANT HILL, SAN MATEO AND PETALUMA
Pedestrians need to be particularly careful crossing the street and walking on the road because of the dangers that cars, motorcycles and other large vehicles may pose. People walking do not have the added protection of a vehicle around them, and do not even have a helmet, as a bicycle rider would have. If people are hit by cars and other motor vehicles without any protection, then the result could be fatal. Have you or a loved one been involved in a car accident and were critically injured as a result of that? Then you should call Greenberg & Rudman LLP now at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO) for a free consultation.
On October 1, 2009, a 14 year old boy going to school in San Mateo was hit by an SUV as he crossed the street on the way to school. The driver was not cited or arrested for the incident because she had the right of way. It appeared that the boy was running to school when he encountered the vehicle. He is still in the hospital, and the crash is still under investigation. In another accident on September 30, 2009, two 13 year old children were hit when they were walking to school. One of the girls was thrown onto the windshield, but both are expected to survive. The driver cooperated with police in the incident. In yet another accident on October 2, a 15 year old boy in Petaluma was hit while he was riding his skateboard to school.
