The 27-year-old husband’s injuries have been described as serious and his wife’s injuries are reportedly life threatening.

The couple were reportedly in a marked crosswalk when they were struck by the car. The driver of the car has denied seeing the couple before striking them. Oakland Police officials are still investigating the cause of this terrible accident. Driver confusion, driver inattention, excessive speed and aggressive driving are some possible factors that may have contributed to this preventable accident.
