The SF Gate website reported in a story that a 19-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of murder after purposely running over his 46 year old female neighbor. Police Sgt. Mike Sullivan said that the young man had been involved in an argument with his neighbors in the 3800 block of Thainwood Way after he had collided with a fence. At approximately 11pm, shortly after the argument began, the man got behind the wheel of a car and drove onto the grass killing the woman. Sullivan stated that neighbors told the police that the young man had a history of driving recklessly in the neighborhood.
The name of the woman was not released and her death was just one of three tragic pedestrian auto accidents in California that ended in fatalities in the bay area on the same day.
A wrongful death — one that was caused by someone else’s unlawful actions — is especially hard for the families who must carry on. Losing a loved one has consequences beyond the emotional impact; families must also contend with loss of income, loss of support, and costs related to the death.
