Sutchi Hui, a 71-year-old San Francisco resident, was walking with his wife through the busy intersection of Castro and Market streets when he was hit by Bucchere in March 2012. He died of his injuries four days later at San Francisco General Hospital.
Chris Bucchere, the man who hit Mr. Hui, is being charged with felony gross vehicular manslaughter.
People get hit by cars every day, and the drivers sometimes face charges, yes? So why am I picking out this case?
Because Mr. Bucchere wasn’t driving a car: he was riding his bicycle when he hit Mr. Hui.
“Court testimony indicated that [Bucchere] was going at least 30 mph and that he ran two red lights and a stop sign prior to going through the intersection where the collision occurred,” said San Francisco Assistant Dist. Atty. Alex Bastian, a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office.
