just heard about this crazy accident in San Mateo 
and my heart is breaking for the victim's family 
. Turning left on a red light is like, so not worth it 
- it's always better to slow down and be safe than sorry 
. And can you believe the driver didn't even try to stop? That's just reckless driving 101 
. The police are doing a great job investigating tho 
, hope they catch the person responsible ASAP 
. We need more bike lanes and pedestrian safety measures in this city 
, it's time to step up our game

just read about this woman who lost her life in a car accident in San Mateo... it's always so sad when these things happen and the police are still trying to piece together what happened. I hope they find out everything they need to know soon though 
I keep thinking what if what if there were more crosswalks or better lighting on that corner 
I mean, it's not like anyone is expecting the unexpected but come on! we need to do better for our pedestrians 
it's so frustrating and upsetting at the same time 
this is getting old for San Mateo 
. life's short, let's all try to make the most of it 
.
she was so young and full of life, what a tragedy 
anyway, it's a good reminder for us all to be more mindful on the roads, especially when it comes to pedestrian safety 
let's all take a moment to breathe and reflect on how we can create a safer world for everyone 
. I mean, a vehicle collision on El Camino Real? That intersection is notorious for being chaotic during rush hour. It's a miracle more people aren't hurt. The fact that the driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with the police is definitely a plus. But what's frustrating is that we'll never know all the facts about this incident, right? 
Police don't always release everything they find out, so you just have to take it for what it's worth. Anyways... my condolences go out to the victim and her loved ones 
.
just heard about this tragedy in San Mateo... my heart goes out to the family of the woman who lost her life 
. also, can't imagine how stressful it must have been for everyone involved in traffic today
