Man Struck and Killed By Car on Sunday was Homeless

The Contra Costa County coroner's office identified the man killed by a car in Concord on Sunday as 60-year-old Glenn Davis.

Davis was homeless—the third homeless person to be struck and by a car this year and the second one to be killed.

Sherree Lindborg, a 52-year-old homeless woman, was struck by two vehicles and killed while walking her dog on Solano Way at Avon Avenue on Jan. 16. One of the drivers stopped to help her, but the second fled the scene.

That driver turned himself in to police the next day and was arrested on suspicion of felony hit-and-run, police said.          

On Feb. 7, a 57-year-old man who was also believed to be homeless was struck in the area of Monument Boulevard and Oak Grove Road. He was in critical condition when he was transported to a hospital.          

The driver who hit him stopped and was cooperating with investigators, police said.

Davis was hit in the 4000 block of Clayton Road near the intersection of Rosal Lane around midnight when he was hit, police said.          

The driver of the vehicle, a 51-year-old Concord woman, stopped at the scene and investigators said there was no indication that she was impaired.          

Witnesses told police that Davis had been standing on the raised center median when he stepped out into the eastbound lane. His death has been ruled an accident, according to the coroner's office.

Concord is not an unusually dangerous city for pedestrians, but it does rank 13th "most perilous" city for pedestrians out of 56 cities with similar populations, according to the state Office of Traffic and Safety.
