A South Bay school community was in mourning Friday evening as family and classmates come to grips with the tragic death of a third grader who was fatally struck by a car on his way to school.
Both of the injured pedestrians were taken to the hospital with the boy suffering from life-threatening injuries. Police confirmed he succumbed to his injuries less than two hours later.
Garcia and many neighbors have long worried about the T-intersection where the crash happened. There are no stop signs on Castlemont Avenue or Driftwood Drive. Drivers who come to the T-intersection has to yield to each other."We were crossing and we were like right in the middle ([of the crosswalk]. And the car saw us, and he didn't care, he just went this way. It was a big truck," said Garcia.
KPIX 5 confirmed local tax law and family law attorney Shiva Moozoun was the driver. KPIX 5 learned Moozoun and her mom were making a turn from Castlemont Avenue onto Driftwood Drive when the crash happened. It is unclear if Moozoun will face any charges. Police said once they finish their investigation, they'll forward the information to the district attorney's office.
