Wow. I think mendo has taken the trophy from Humboldt
I just pray to God that the mother and baby are going to be ok. Leaving in an ambulance Code 3 and an air ambulance still coming just makes me hurt all over. I don’t know why the SUV driver hit them, but I will give him 1 point for coming back to the accident scene. My love and prays for mommy and baby.
He didn’t come back, he drove off and crashed he was later detained and will be charged
So why does a woman have her 1 year old out at that time od the night.
Almost guarantee the driver was impared
Last nite of the Redwood Empire Fair in Ukiah
Going to a convenience store? Soothing the infant with a walk? Returning home? Who knows?
I do know pedestrians have the right of way, regardless of their reason for crossing the street.
Hey guy
Who cares!
that’s my mom dude
I don’t know what she was doing out. I do know that, the last time I looked, this was a free country. No curfews in place that I’m aware of.
Dogbiter, you just commenter Crap right where it hurts. Why does he care if she was out in the evening? I have not heard that the SUV driver was impaired.
It was the last night of the Redwood Empire Fair in Ukiah last night. I believe the carnival was open until 11:00 p.m.. a lot of people were there really excited and happy it was fairly crowded for the last night.
She was with her family at the fair
