Vehicle strikes couple crossing at East Avenue intersection in Livermore

A couple in their 60s were hit by a car while attempting to cross the intersection of East and Hillcrest avenues Tuesday morning, the Livermore Police Department reported.

The victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley for treatment. Since then, one of the pedestrians has been released from the hospital and the other is expected to be released Wednesday, police said.

LPD responded to a report of the incident at around 7:15 a.m. A preliminary investigation indicates the couple were using the crosswalk to traverse East Avenue from the southwest corner of the intersection, police said.

According to witness statements, a pedestrian sign had signaled the couple to cross the street, but a vehicle traveling eastbound on East Avenue ran the red light and hit the two pedestrians, police said.

The driver, a Livermore man in his 50s, remained on the scene and is cooperating with the investigation, LPD spokesperson Azenith Smith said. The driver’s name has not yet been released amid the ongoing investigation.
