Police Weigh Charges in San Francisco Chinatown Crash That Killed Worker

Police say a 76-year-old driver is cooperating during a review of possible charges.

Overview

  • Police say a driver trying to park in Chinatown lost control, hit two pedestrians, killed Cutberto Zamora, and crashed into a neighborhood restaurant.
  • Zamora, 49, of Stockton, was helping deliver carpet for a renovation when he was struck, according to a property manager.
  • Investigators report the driver is 76 and cooperating, and they are evaluating possible charges with the district attorney’s office.
  • His wife says he was the family’s sole provider, and his son says the crash came days before his 50th birthday and his daughter’s quinceañera.
  • At a community safety meeting, residents pressed for stronger checks on older drivers as officials noted California now requires in-person eye tests at 70 for license renewal.
