Two Injured in Separate Car vs. Pedestrian Accidents
One accident occurred on Shoreline Drive, the other at the South Shore Center Safeway.
A 70-year-old man was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries this morning (Thursday, Jan. 16) after he was struck by a vehicle while walking at Shoreline Drive and Grand Street about 7:44 a.m., an Alameda Police Department spokesperson said.
Lt. Jill Ottaviano said another man was hospitalized on Tuesday, Jan. 14, after a vehicle vs. pedestrian accident on private property at the South Shore Center shopping center.
That man bounced off the windshield of the Volvo and received head injuries, she said.
The accident occurred at 8:05 a.m. by the Safeway supermarket, 2227 South Shoe Center, she said.
Ottaviano said the Volvo driver was heading east, and sun in the driver's eyes may have been a factor in the accident.
