Lam s son actually played the role of hero, according to the family. Even though he witnessed his father get hit by the SUV, he was alert enough to unlock his father’s phone for a witness who came running over and help them get to a family member’s phone number.
Investigators said the driver of the compact SUV stayed in that spot for about 10 seconds, with the Saturn pinned against the Toyota, but then, as pedestrians approached, the driver backed up and drove away, exiting onto Redwood Street.
Video of the Saturn, which has damage to the driver s-side front turn signal and bumper, was briefly captured by a security camera at a nearby business.
