Family holds 'no ill will' after woman hit by car driven by young brothers in Oakland
A woman who was struck by a car in Oakland driven by two young boys, ages 4 and 6, has begun responding to basic commands, though her family warned she faces a long recovery.
What they're saying:
Shirley Allen said the driver "didn’t even have the decency to stop … call 911 and then the police station being right there."
"Yeah, there's a lot of speeding around here, but the main thing is police don't pull nobody over, you don't even see nothing around here," one local resident said. "Put some more speed bumps around here, have a little more surveillance here, because that should not be happening."
Several security cameras at the intersection point down toward the area where the woman was struck, and neighbors said they hope law enforcement can use the footage to locate the person responsible.
KTVU reached out to Oakland police for an update on the investigation.
