In San Francisco, the West Portal neighborhood is responding after the city’s district attorney announced charges against the driver who crashed and killed a family of four earlier this year.
Still shaken by the horrific crash that ended the lives of a family of four outside a library, many in the West Portal community are still grieving.

“It’s something that it’s edged in the neighborhood and the community where families frequent this every day. It’s right next to the library where I bring my kids to,” said Ray Kim, West Portal resident.
Just three months after the crash, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced felony charges against the 78-year-old driver that plowed into the family.
“These are felony vehicle manslaughter charges, which is the result of the gross negligence that occurred in causing this collision,” said Jenkins.
After months of investigating, SFPD ruled out mechanical failure in this case. Investigators believe the woman was driving 65 to 72 miles per hour before crashing against the bus shelter where the family was waiting.
