Pedestrian Struck By Car Near Lake Merritt Bart December 20, 2012

A pedestrian was struck by a car near the intersection of 7th and Madison near Lake Merritt BART in Oakland this morning. According to a 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.
