Novato, CA - Two Seriously Injured in Pedestrian Accident at Almeda Del Prado & Posada Del Sol

Novato, CA (April 24, 2021) – A Novato boy and his father both sustained serious injuries after a pedestrian accident occurred in the Novato region on Wednesday evening, April 21.

Authorities say the boy, a 4-year-old, was initially airlifted to an area medical center with life-threatening injuries. The wreck happened in the Ignacio area around 8:30 p.m. at Alameda Del Prado near Posada Del Sol and Highway 101.

Police say the driver involved was under the influence. Two parents were crossing the street with their young son and daughter when they were struck. Officers with the Novato Police Department said they had activated flashing safety lights before entering the crosswalk, but the driver hit the son and the father while they were crossing. The child was transported to UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland, where he remains. The child's father, 27, is being treated at Marin Health in Greenbrae. Both victims are in intensive care, though authorities said they were in stable condition.

Police say the driver stopped and cooperated and was arrested for being under the influence. The investigation into the crash continues.

Our thoughts go out to the injured victims and their families. We hope for their full recovery.

Novato, CA - Two Seriously Injured in Pedestrian Accident at Almeda Del Prado & Posada Del Sol

In the last several years, nearly 35,000 accidents resulted in fatalities, major injuries, or minor injuries on Bay Area roadways.

When victims are injured in a pedestrian crash, they may have to deal with other drivers' insurance companies, long-term physical pain, and expensive hospital bills.
