A California man who authorities said drove his car through a crosswalk in a quiet Silicon Valley suburb, hitting seven people and injuring eight, is being held in jail on eight counts of attempted murder.
Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety Chief Phan Ngo said Wednesday that four people remain hospitalized with major injuries, including a 13-year-old Sunnyvale resident who is in critical condition. Six people were taken to area hospitals.
The youngest victim was a 9-year-old boy who was treated and released with minor injuries. A 15-year-old boy was treated and released by paramedics. The 13-year-old is a girl, Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety Capt. Jim Choi has said. Peoples, who is an auditor for the Department of Defence in Mountain View, received inpatient treatment for PTSD in 2015, his mother said.
Don Draper, 72, said he was waiting in his convertible for the light to turn green when the Toyota zoomed by. Draper said he was so enraged that he marched over to the car. But the driver's mother, Leevell Peoples, described him as a well-behaved son who treats everyone with respect and attends church on Sundays. Isaiah wouldn't even run a yellow light, she said.
"Everyone in his family knows how cautious he is, and he would never do anything to hurt someone," she said.
