KTVU report, she was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries
According to the report on KTVU, the driver remained at the scene and cooperted with investigators.
I drive through this intersection a few times a week and can tell you that there are lots of pedestrians and the lights are *almost* synchronized. So if you drive really fast, you can catch all the green lights. This encourages a lot of people to drive really fast.
There has been a rash of pedestrian accidents in the last week or so in and around Lake Merrit.
