Pedestrian In Crosswalk Struck By Vehicle In Corte Madera

CORTE MADERA, CA – A 27-year-old man was struck and injured by a vehicle as he crossed Tamalpais Drive in Corte Madera Wednesday at approximately 6:30 p.m., authorities said.

The Central Marin Police Authority said it received numerous 911 calls reporting the collision where a pedestrian in a crosswalk was hit by a black BMW in the westbound number two lane of Tamalpais at the intersection with Lakeside Drive.

Police said several witnesses reported the man was in the crosswalk when struck and that pedestrian warning lights were flashing. The motorist involved cooperated with the investigation, the department said.

"Early investigation indicates that the driver was traveling at or near the speed limit, however the setting sun appeared to have played a factor," the agency said. "It does not appear that drugs or alcohol played a factor in the collision."

Westbound Tamalpais Drive was reduced to one lane during the aftermath, and the victim was transported to Marin General Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, the department said.

Any witnesses to the collision are asked to call the Central Marin Police Authority at (415) 927-5150.
