Sebastopol, CA (January 27, 2023) On Thursday morning, 36-year-old Donna Almendrala and her 9-month-old baby were hurt after a traffic accident on Burnside Road.

CHP says that the vehicle-pedestrian crash happened north of Bloomfield Road. Reports say that 55-year-old Scott Gibbs of Sebastopol was driving southbound on a truck that struck Almendrala and her baby. Officials say that the truck’s side mirror hit the Sebastopol woman, causing minor to moderate injuries to the mother.

Furthermore, authorities say that the mirror did not hit the baby, although the baby suffered minor injuries.

The CHP is investigating the traffic accident and have not released further details about the crash.

Traffic safety is no laughing matter. The dangers of driving continue to rise. Moreover, the public is forced to put their lives at stake on the road each day.

It is critical to follow all driving laws and the conditions of the road. This keeps us and everyone around us safe as we travel to our destination.

Meanwhile, according to the NHTSA, most pedestrian accidents like the one Donna Almendrala was involved in are caused by poor visibility.

Therefore, as pedestrians, wearing bright clothing, using the crosswalk, and using a flashlight at night are just some of the steps we can do to avoid accidents.
