Fatal Pedestrian Collision in Sunnyvale Prompts Investigation, Officials Seek EyewitnessesSource: Google Street View

An incident occurred this past weekend in Sunnyvale that resulted in the loss of a pedestrian's life due to a vehicle collision. According to a social media post shared by the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety, last Saturday, local patrol and fire personnel hastily responded to the scene at the crossways of N. Fair Oaks Ave and Columbia Ave after receiving a report that involved a pedestrian being struck. The emergency teams found the pedestrian with severe injuries upon their arrival.

Despite the swift action to transport the victim to a local hospital, their injuries proved to be fatal. The pedestrian's identity has not been released, and it is pending notification of kin. The circumstances around the accident remain unclear, and the incident is actively being investigated by the Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) of the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety.

Officials are earnestly calling on any possible eyewitnesses to come forward and directly contact investigator D. Larks at (408) 730-7110 with any pertinent information they might have.
