Dramatic Ring camera video of the crash was shared online, showing the fast-moving car sliding sideways out of control and missing by inches a pedestrian who was walking on the sidewalk of Simmons Lane. In the footage that was recorded from a property across the street from the home that was hit, the pedestrian is seen scrambling out of the way of the vehicle just in time. “We are grateful the pedestrian involved (walking on Simmons Lane), acted quickly to avoid a horrific outcome,” the police department said. A preliminary investigation indicated that drugs or alcohol were not factors in the crash. A medical emergency appeared to be a possible cause, according to Novato police. “This is a shocking reminder that traffic collisions can occur in a split second and when out walking, stay aware of your surroundings,” police said.
