Are the intersecting streets correct?

There is a guy in wheelchair, usually between Safeway & Pizza Hut on Nob Hill .... watch out for him trying to cross traffic. He has dark clothing, everytime we see him. I sure hope 🙏 he always gets somewhere safely because he is hard to see especially in the dark hours.

Per police report the pedestrian was crossing from west to east. Vehicle was traveling north on 1st st in the curb lane. 1st is 4 lanes so pedestrian had already crossed 3 lanes before being hit. Pedestrian did not jump off curb into path of car. I bet the pedestrian was running in order not to get hit since drivers seem to ignore pedestrians. If driver was speeding it would have caused pedestrian to misjudge the time they had to cross.

If the victim ran into the road way, was he not at fault also? So how is that vehicular homicide? Arrested for DUI, yes, but I want to see a sober person stop when someone runs out in front of them.

I would have to wonder....it says the pedestrian "ran" into the road. Which insinuates that very thing, or they went quickly into the road, and notice...no mention of it saying they used a crosswalk. It sounds like a non- drinking driver could have hit them as well. We are told as driver's to scan with our eyes the surroundings ahead of us. All it takes is one second to look opposite of a pedestrian that decides to go into a traffic area randomly...to hit them. Especially in the dark. Like others have said....so many people wear dark clothing at night. It does not help.

Prayers being sent up so sad my condolences to the victims family

So sad.

And they should be.

Not a good Christmas and new year for the driver 😬😬😬

How does 1st st. intersect with 6th street???

Please don't drink & drive sadly it's not worth call someone to come get you, prayers to the families 💔 🙏 😢

Prayers to the family of the victim.🙏❤️

I read that the victim ran in the road so how it her fault

Yikes with all the new laws into effect she's doing some time 😬

So do we email Darius if we have questions regarding the victim's identity? Or i should say to rule out it being someone.

People jay walk all night out there :/ unfortunate situation for all

And yet the wsp off duty officer is still free and getting paid. For doing the same thing.

She goes to jail and misses Christmas but the state trooper in Richland was released a couple hours later without bail 🤷‍♂️

So sad for the loss of this person especially on a holiday

If she wasn't drinking she would have been released and no fault.

How am I wrong

YPD IS WORKING WITH ICE!

Katherine Morris was individual arrested.

Asking poeple what happen then Yu post she's drunk. So asking poeple if they seen it. ? Sounds like yr makeg it up?

Even with a safety vest on or light clothing. Doesn't help that the driver was drunk. She probably would have still hit someone if she hadn't hit this gentleman.

Pedestrians must be aware. Everywhere, they walk with traffic, on the white lines, in traffic lanes, 2 and 3 abreast, dogs on leashes wandering all over, dark clothing, misjudging vehicle speed. I am not saying the pedestrian here was at fault, but they must be on their toes. Crosswalks give a sense of safety not always there. Drivers do not seem concerned they have a dangerous piece of equipment.

By the basket and robbins

And the city council wanted to cut ofiicers?! This is an example of why we need them!! 💙

YPD IS WORKING WITH ICE!!

It's getting worse, YPD.

That's a pretty big area to cordon off? Silly

This is like the 12th pedestrian run over this year

Rip panchito 💔😔

My entire heart goes out to this family. As I heard this call go out. I had to say a silent thank you to God for putting my son in Juvie because that could’ve been him. Lord, I pray that you put some love into these kids’ hearts and that their families try a little harder to keep them from doing these things 

He was my nephew but I've always thought of him as my son. Our world is shattered, our hearts crumbling to pieces, we are numb and eyes swollen from tears. Please love, cherish and embrace your loved ones each chance you get. You never know when it's their last day.

Sad for the family who lost a loved one this close to the holiday. I hope they catch the loser soon.

Prayers to the family
