A twenty-five year old Copperopolis, California woman was jogging with her ten year old niece when she was struck and killed by a motor vehicle. The young girl was not injured in the incident.
Amy Lynn Freeseha and her niece were jogging along the river in the early evening when Freehesa was struck from behind by an SUV that fled from the scene. Police identified the vehicle as a white Chevrolet Suburban model year 1997-99, by using parts left at the scene.
Concerned citizens should be on the lookout for a vehicle that matches that description, with damage to its right headlight and rearview mirror. Anyone with information on the hit and run SUV is asked to call Officer Rubin Perez at (209) 545-7440.
This case is tragically similar to a case Callahan & Blaine successfully settled in Orange County, California. In that case two female joggers were hit by a vehicle and left paralyzed. Attorney Daniel J. Callahan knew from previous experience that the intersection where the two were hit was dangerous and that the city of Dana Point, California knew it and had failed to do anything about it.
In the Dana Point case, Callahan & Blaine achieved a record-breaking $50 million settlement for the injured joggers, and convinced the city of Dana Point to make the highway safer for pedestrians.
