Version 0 of 1. A car that veered on to a California sidewalk has killed a woman and injured seven other people, including the driver and two children. Police say a 65-year-old man was driving the Nissan Versa that hit people near a bus stop in Vallejo on Friday afternoon. The Vallejo Times-Herald says the car went 50ft, dragging two women. A passing tow truck driver lifted the car off them. A 49-year-old Vallejo woman died at the scene, and her four-year-old daughter was injured. Two other women, a man and a four-year-old boy were hurt. The driver was treated for minor injuries. Witnesses said the driver seemed to slump at the wheel before hitting the gas. Lieutenant Kevin Bartlett says marijuana was found in the car. The driver was not immediately arrested. Vallejo is about 25 miles north-east of San Francisco. |
