The Walnut Creek driver who\u2019s accused of fatally striking a two-year-old child in a Mission Bay crosswalk in February was charged with vehicular manslaughter, and the city recently installed safety improvements at the intersection.<\/p>\n
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced Monday<\/a> that Merih Fssha Solomon, 47, of Walnut Creek was charged with vehicular manslaughter following an investigation into the collision that killed a two-year-old and seriously injured her mother in Mission Bay in late February. <\/p>\n As SFist reported<\/a> at the time, the toddler and her mother were struck while crossing the street at Fourth and Channel streets. Jenkins reportedly said Monday that the mother and child had a green light when they were struck in the crosswalk. In late March<\/a>, Solomon was booked on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter, red light violation, and failure to yield to pedestrians.<\/p>\n Solomon was scheduled to be arraigned at the Hall of Justice Tuesday at 1:30 pm.<\/p>\n As the Chronicle<\/a> reports, city officials recently installed a permanent separated bikeway to improve safety at the intersection after the group Safe Street Rebel initially placed their own<\/a> buffer posts there with the intention of inspiring the city to follow suit, as previously reported. <\/p>\n Additionally, Supervisor Matt Dorsey and other neighborhood leaders will be discussing additional safety improvements at a town hall meeting at the Southern District Police Station Thursday.<\/p>\n The case remains an active investigation.
