Video: Grandmother, toddler grandson injured in brazen San Jose hit-and-run
SAN JOSE -- Police in San Jose are seeking help identifying a suspect vehicle that was involved in a Monday evening hit-and-run crash that injured an elderly woman and her three-year-old grandson.
According to authorities, at around 5:40 p.m. early Monday evening, an older adult female pedestrian pushing a stroller containing her grandson -- a three-year-old toddler boy -- were crossing Sierra Road near Mauna Kea Lane in a marked crosswalk when a vehicle traveling westbound on Sierra Road struck the woman.
The impact caused the woman to fall and tipped the stroller over, police said. The toddler's head struck the pavement, causing a contusion on his forehead. The vehicle sped off without stopping to help either victim.
Police told CBS SF that the adult victim initially refused medical aid, but has since ended up in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said the vehicle was a newer dark gray four-door hatchback similar in style to a 2012 Mazda 3. Authorities released images of the vehicle taken from nearby surveillance video. Police said the suspect vehicle will possibly have damage to the front driver's side of the vehicle.
Police also posted the video on YouTube.
San Jose police are asking the public to help identify and locate the suspect and suspect vehicle.
