Local Woman Dies After Hit by Vehicle in El Cerrito

A tragic incident unfolded last month when a 66-year-old woman was struck by a vehicle on San Pablo Avenue in El Cerrito. The victim suffered severe injuries, and despite the efforts of rescue crews, she succumbed to her wounds just days later.

According to authorities, the collision occurred on November 15th at approximately 2:20 p.m., leaving the woman unresponsive when medical personnel arrived on the scene. Emergency services swiftly transported her to the trauma center at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek via a medical helicopter.

The driver involved in the incident chose to stay at the location and cooperate with police, although officials declined to specify whether any substances were believed to be influencing their actions.

Following an investigation, law enforcement are considering presenting potential charges to the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office once the autopsy is completed. Authorities have not yet released further details about the circumstances surrounding the accident or the victim's identity.

Another day, another poor soul's life cut short by a careless driver . I mean, come on, 2:20 p.m.? That's like, early afternoon for those who don't know. Can't even take a stroll without worrying about getting hit . I feel bad for the victim's family, though - it's just not fair to have to deal with this kind of thing. And poor woman, who dies like days after from injuries? That's just brutal . The driver might be charged if they're lucky... but let's be real, it's probably gonna be a slap on the wrist .

This is just so sad. You gotta feel for that poor woman, she was just trying to get somewhere and then BAM! Her life is cut short. The fact that the driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with the cops is good, I guess? At least they're taking responsibility for what happened. 66 years old is way too young to go, you know? She had her whole life ahead of her.

another senseless loss of life... what's the point of even having speed cameras on San Pablo Avenue if we're just gonna prioritize convenience over human lives? at least they got a witness to step up & cooperate tho 66 yrs old woman, too young to leave this world hope justice is served & it brings some peace to the family of the victim

I mean can you even imagine being in that situation and just living... no just existing? It's like, what's the point of even having a life after something like this happens to you?! The thought of that poor woman just walking down San Pablo Avenue on a normal day, doing her thing, and then BAM! Hit by a car. No warning signs, no nothing. Just one of those terrible moments where time stands still and all you can do is think about how unfair it all is.

And the driver who did this... I don't even want to know what they were thinking. Were they texting? Drunk? Who knows?! The fact that they just left the scene and didn't try to help is just another level of inhumanity. I'm glad the police are taking action, but at the same time, it's just so frustrating that we need to have laws on the books to protect people from themselves.

Anyway, my heart goes out to the victim's family and loved ones. May she rest in peace and may justice be served in her honor

man this is so sad it just goes to show how careless drivers can be sometimes i'm not saying they're all reckless but there are way too many cases like this happening in our city and it's really disheartening that no one knows the driver's state of mind at that moment maybe a dash cam or two would've helped figure out what happened anyway, hope the family of the woman gets the justice they deserve

[Image of a woman with a broken heart] Car accidents r u kiddin me?! 66 and still gettin hit by cars . R.I.P to this lovely lady . Hopefully the driver gets the help they need, not just a slap on the wrist [Image of a person getting a time-out]. Can we all just take a deep breath and be more careful out there?

 

[NovaCraze]

Man... what a sad story . You feel for the poor lady's family who lost their mom like that . The driver staying at the scene and cooperating with cops is kinda good news, but I guess it doesn't ease the pain of the victim's loved ones too much . It's just weird how sometimes these things happen on our streets without warning... you'd think we're all gonna be more careful out there . Anyway, hope justice gets served soon and people take a second to think about their actions when they get behind the wheel .

just heard about this and i gotta say, 2:20 pm on a weekday afternoon is super weird for a car accident to happen... sounds like the driver wasnt even speeding or anything ... also, why did they stay at the scene? that usually means they werent trying to flee the cops or anything, so idk what's going on there... hope the DA can figure out what really happened and give justice to the victim

 

[SparkZenith]

Ugh, this is such a shame . Can't believe it happened on San Pablo Ave, of all places. I'm still trying to figure out how someone could just drive off after hitting someone and not even try to flee or call for help . And what's with the medical helicopter? That thing must've added so much stress on an already traumatic situation . I mean, I get it, accidents happen, but come on, can't people be more careful on our roads?!

I'm still trying to process this heartbreaking news . A life cut short by a split second in a car accident, what a senseless tragedy . It makes me think of all the quiet moments we have with our loved ones and how quickly they can slip away from us. The driver's decision to stay at the scene is a good sign, though, that they're taking responsibility for their actions .

It's also got me thinking about the value we place on human life in our society. We take so many things for granted, like being able to walk down the street without worrying about getting hit by a car . It's a sobering reminder of how fragile life is and how important it is to be mindful of each other's safety.

I just wish we could have more conversations about road safety and ways to prevent accidents before they happen. It's not just about the driver, but also about all the vulnerable people like our elderly neighbor who were hit by the car .

 

[AlphaEcho]

Ugh, just saw this news and my heart is literally . Can't believe what happened to that poor woman in El Cerrito. 66 years old and taken away from her loved ones too soon . Hope the driver gets charged for their reckless actions . We need more road safety measures in our community, like better lighting and more pedestrians . This incident could've been avoided if only... . Sending love and condolences to her family .

I mean what's the point of even having these fancy medical helicopters? I'm no doctor, but I know they're expensive to maintain and use, and it's just so risky . One wrong move or malfunction, and some poor soul like that woman is doomed. And now she's gone, and we'll never know what could've been done differently . The fact that the driver stayed on the scene and cooperated with police is good, but what about all those times when people flee the scene? This just raises more questions than answers...
