Pedestrian Killed Crossing Cabrillo

"As officers responded to the scene and began their investigation, an unrelated, unlicensed DUI driver crashed through the police barricades and was arrested."

This fiasco has dolomush written all over it. Experienced drunk drivers unite! NOT! :) henry

I would never hire an amateur drunk driver.

The guy that hit my dad had a 0.069 BAC and the court determined he was sufficiently impaired.

Yep, all booze, all the time. Ain't life grand?

'She was not in a crosswalk when the accident occurred' somewhat implies fault, I guess, but really there is not enough information. It is not illegal to cross mid-block-ish outside of our downtown core business district. I don't know about the legality at this particular location. It is not necessarily unsafe to cross outside of a cross walk either. Sometimes it is safer than at intersections with crosswalks. What to do.

The investigation could shed some light. Witnesses could too. So, is it customary to leave out the names of adults involved, i.e. the 22 year old driver. Distracted walking? Distracted Driving? Visitors not familiar with the locale. Speed a factor? Light vs. Dark., etc. A few gray areas here. .03 is suspect to some. We'll never know. But still a tragedy.

"The driver, 22-years-old, had been drinking prior to the accident, but police determined he was not sufficiently under the influence to impair his driving.":

buzzed driving IS drunk driving.

As our County is increasingly owned by the alcohol industry, we will continue to see more and more of these and other tragedies perpetrated by drivers under the influence.

I'd still rather ride with someone blowing a .03 than someone on a LEGAL hands free cell phone device.

Hell I'd rather ride with someone with an ILLEGAL .08 than a LEGAL cell phone talker.

Jaywalking is what most Humans do when the crosswalk is more than a foot from their crossing point and is still punishable even in the State of California (see web-link: http://www.legal-news-california.toze... ). This action does NOT permit the driver from attaining guilt or retribution from pedestrian who are hit.
