Always wear your seatbelt.
There has been yet another accident by the Alhambra Avenue exit in the last 2 hrs. 1 fatality and 3 injuries. This is getting crazy.
@Did I Say That Out Loud – How/ where did you come up with that info.?
@Did I Say – Interesting you mention, as a family member asked me about it, told me they saw a lot of Police Activity etc. Told them I hadn’t heard anything.
While this is sad it just continues to occur because people are driving and acting out of control. Please be safe out there.
Amen. I see drivers trying to save a few seconds by doing something reckless or outright dangerous. Others don’t pay attention or don’t care, running red lights or what’s worse going the wrong way. Several times at SunValley parking lot I see drivers going the wrong way, if they are looking for a parking space and don’t drive too fast probably nothing serious will happen, but I have seen drivers going in the wrong lane when trying to exit the mall to Contra Costa Blvd.
Maybe someone could explain to me, how we can assist with the investigation. There are reckless drivers everywhere. You have not provided us with even a description of the car. I know who the reckless drivers are in my “hood”. I know where they live, I know what vehicle they drive and I know their plate number. People, learn to be involved. There is no reason to “stick your nose , where it doesn’t belong”, just pay attention and hold people accountable for their actions. Date, time, vehicle and behavior. Keep a log!
