Crash “The car was stopped behind another car, and then I just saw out of the corner of my eye, it accelerated up onto the curb,” Fowler said. He pulled his wife out of the way just as she felt the Nissan brush against her dress, he said. They then saw the Versa run into an outdoor table, hitting one man. Another person who was standing was also hit and was “carried by the car,” said Fowler, still shaken from the incident. At least five ambulances were dispatched to the cafe, which is located between Ramona and Bryant streets. The police “don’t believe drugs or alcohol were involved in the incident,” Villaescusa said, nor do they believe the driver suffered a medical problem immediately before the crash. A section of University Avenue was closed off to traffic Thursday afternoon while medical responders arrived at the crash scene and officers investigated.

Three brothers — a 9 year old and twin 6 year olds — were walking down Santa Cruz Avenue when a 90-year-old Woodside resident’s car jumped a curb and pinned the twins against a wall, leaving one with a broken arm and the other in serious condition. The man’s driver’s license was confiscated at the time, and he was ordered to schedule an examination within five business days with the DMV or risk suspension of his license. The boys’ family

Menlo Park police said that because the driver held a valid license and wasn’t under the influence of alcohol or other drugs at the time of the accident, he faced
only an infraction for driving on the sidewalk. California doesn’t have separate licensing standards for senior drivers, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles, but instead looks at every driver’s mental and physical ability to comply with traffic laws. Q
