Jogger Struck By Car, Found In Ditch
In San Francisco's Presidio

San Francisco police are looking for the driver who plowed down a woman who was jogging in the Presidio and then took off.

Update:


This is sad, and the City of SF does nothing to educate society about the dangers of Hit and Runs.
Teardrops..............




After 27 years of happiness, love, laughter and true spirit, Ashlyn passed peacefully at 4:23 PM On March 12, 2006.

Doctors were able to harvest all healthy organs which will provide the gift of life to many.

Although there were early signs of improvement, by Wednesday night it was apparent that Ashlyn had sustained a severe, irreversible brain injury caused by the lack of oxygen for a period of probably greater than ten minutes from the time she was hit until paramedics arrived and began resuscitation. This lack of oxygen caused brain swelling (cerebral edema) which was impossible to control adequately to protect her brain, despite medicines and bedside procedures. Dr. Manley consulted with brain injury experts around the country and it was the opinion of all that if Ashlyn did survive she would be forever in a vegetative state. The treatment for the brain swelling was withdrawn Thursday night. The swelling will now continue and increase, all the while with Ashlyn having absolutely no pain or discomfort.

Had the person who hit Ashlyn stopped, or called 911 immediately, Ashlyn could have recovered from the injuries she sustained.
