DUI: On April 21st at 8:30p.m., Novato Police Officers were dispatched to a reported vehicle versus pedestrian collision on Alameda Del Prado near the intersection of Posada Del Sol. The first officer who arrived on scene located two pedestrians who had apparently been struck by a sedan traveling southbound on Alameda Del Prado.
Personnel from the Novato Fire Protection District responded to the scene to render aid. As the investigation progressed, officers learned that a 27-year-old male victim, along with 4-year-old son were struck while walking in the crosswalk. The 27-year-old male was transported to Marin General Hospital and sustained major injuries, which are not life threatening. The 4-year-old child was also transported to Marin General Hospital and later air lifted to a children’s hospital in Oakland due to life threatening injuries from the collision. The child is in critical condition. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their family during this difficult time.
Members of the Novato Police Department Major Collision Investigation Team responded to the scene and took over the investigation and the roadway was closed for several hours while the collision scene was processed. The driver, 75-year-old Edward Cox of Novato, was subsequently arrested and booked into Marin County Jail for suspicion of felony driving while under the influence.
