Another car crash on ECR near Menlo Park/Atherton border

Original post made by KMeyers, another community, on Nov 30, 2010

While driving on El Camino Real this afternoon at around 2:15 PM (11/30/10) I saw a vehicle that had crashed into the business 2-story building at 1906 El Camino Real, which is located on the corner of Watkins/ECR.

This is eerily similar location (as in, within a few blocks) near where two pedestrians were hit and killed earlier this Fall. One was a pedestrian and another was in the crosswalk on his bicycle.

At this crash, there was a smashed bike in the northbound ECR roadway and a car sideways into the 1906 ECR building. One ambulance, a few police officers and one fire engine.

My questions:

Was anyone seriously injured or killed?

Was this incident not published because the bicyclist/pedestrian DID NOT die?

Did anyone see this or know what happened?

What is the City of Menlo Park doing about these several horrific pedestrian crosswalks/locations on ECR that pedestrians keep getting hit at?

Menlo Park has no control over El Camino. The state controls El Camino. There was a meeting in Oct or Nov with State Senator Joe Simitian, CalTrans and residents and reps from Atherton. Haven't heard anything as to results of that meeting. You can call Simitian's office at (650) 688-6384.

Almanac - could you look into that meeting and also yesterday's accident?
