#hit-and-run

A year after San Leandro Police Chief Angela Averiett was accused of swiping the side of another car in the East Bay then driving off, she now faces misdemeanor charges and has been put on administrative leave. San Leandro's police chief, Angela Averiett, is now on administrative leave after being charged with misdemeanor hit-and-run Tuesday, stemming from an incident in Dublin last May, which was initially reported by ABC 7's Dan Noyes and covered by SFist in April.

She was heading home with her husband and two children after a San Francisco Giants game, eastbound 580 approaching Dublin, close to 11 p.m. She drove in the fast lane through a construction zone. As traffic picked up to 45 or 50 miles an hour, Ryan told the CHP a silver "Jeep was flying on the shoulder," veered into her lane, and clipped her driver's side mirror.

The driver of the white Jeep Cherokee abandoned the vehicle at the scene and fled the location on foot without stopping to identify themselves or render aid as required by law.

A southbound vehicle crossed into the northbound lane and struck a second oncoming vehicle, Los Angeles police said. One man died at the site of the crash as a result of his injuries.

Friends remembered Spillman as supportive and caring, someone who built family wherever she went. 'Very sweet. She always was supporting me, family and friends everyone,' said Theresa Jenny Cabanag, a friend of Spillman's.

Dannielle Spillman was just one of the nicest, most personable people. She was someone that would come in to hang out. She knew everyone's name and she knew all of our backstories.

The clip shows a black Mercedes sedan pulling into traffic before abruptly turning into the path of a cyclist traveling in a designated bike lane, resulting in a collision.

Last week, Rebecca Grossman-the woman who killed my two precious boys, Mark and Jacob, by speeding through a crosswalk-made a request that I would go visit her in prison... to 'see the circumstances she is in.' And that she is 'A victim.'

The video shows the victim walking from the rear to the front of the suspect vehicle as it sits straddling the sidewalk, attempting to pull out from a driveway onto the street. This appears to have been some sort of confrontation, and the driver appears to accelerate into the victim as he passes in front of the vehicle, knocking him onto the hood and onto the ground before running him over.

The incident occurred when ICE agents attempted to make a 'targeted arrest' on Bigelow Street in Quincy just after 11 a.m. Agents stopped the person's vehicle and exited their own. The person who they pulled over then tried to 'evade arrest' and 'nearly crushed a special agent' with their vehicle.

The driver of a black SUV was heading southbound on Second Avenue at around 4:30 a.m. when he struck the 69-year-old woman in the crosswalk at E. 57th Street.

A man reported that another man known to him threatened him with a knife on Yaphank-Middle Island Road in Middle Island at around 1:45 p.m. on March 14, police said. He did not wish to press charges.

The incident took place around 11 a.m. as Benicia police attempted to do a traffic stop. The car went off the highway at Westbound 780, rolling over into the bushes, landing between Columbus Parkway and Glen Cove Road. The woman was ejected and alert, and was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, authorities said.

The unidentified victim, believed to be in his 30s, was standing in the westbound lanes of Linden Blvd. at Rockaway Ave. in Brownsville when the driver of a light-colored SUV going west hit him, cops said. That driver had a green light, cops said. A second light-colored SUV, also going west on Linden, then struck the victim as he lay in the roadway, cops said. Neither driver remained at the scene.

The collision happened around 6:20 p.m. on Feb. 20 near Shell Boulevard and Bounty Drive, according to the Foster City Police Department. Officers arrived within minutes and found the e-bicyclist. The driver, however, had already left the scene. Paramedics treated the teen at the scene and took him to an area hospital for additional medical care.

Investigators say the blaze started inside McDermott's townhouse after he reportedly lit small fires throughout the day, telling a friend and witnesses that he was trying to kill spiders inside the residence. Police say McDermott, of East Moriches, New York, ignited a fire on the floor and then stacked a loveseat on top of it. Despite a friend's repeated efforts to put out the flames, McDermott continued to relight them, the man told authorities.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to locate the driver who was believed to be driving a grey/silver saloon with partial registration number 141-D. The collision, involving a car and a pedestrian, occurred at approximately 7.10pm on Ratoath Road, Finglas, Dublin 11. The juvenile male pedestrian, aged in his teens, was brought to Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street for treatment of non life-threatening injuries.

The incident has left the criminal's friend, who was a passenger in the car, in a critical condition and he is currently being treated for his injuries in Beaumont Hospital. A female pedestrian aged in her early 20s, who was struck by the car as she walked on the footpath, is currently being treated at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda. The crash happened on the L5313 at Loreto Wood in Cavan at 6.45pm yesterday and gardai are appealing for witnesses.

"I'm an adult, and I don't troll," said the Council member, who had circled the park at least twice in her car in search of the protesters. "I respected their right to protest." (She also dismissed the idea that her three dozen speed-camera infractions should be a concern to area pedestrians.)

Police said Friday they are looking for the driver of a white SUV who struck and critically injured a 71-year-old man in a Brooklyn crosswalk before driving away. NYPD officials said the incident happened just before 6 p.m. Thursday at the intersection of Ocean Avenue and Avenue S in Sheepshead Bay. The 71-year-old was crossing Ocean Avenue westbound on Avenue S when the driver hit him while going north on Ocean Avenue, police said.
