"As KTVU reports, around 11:15 pm, a gray Mercedes sedan came barreling down the bus lane and struck 32-year-old Erika Yeates as she was about the cross Albion Street. The car "came out of nowhere" and "took her legs out from underneath her," according to her partner Andrew Touma, a 37-year-old graduate student at Stanford. Yeates reportedly landed on her face on the ground and was briefly unconscious. The Mercedes sped off, leaving behind a side mirror. No arrest has yet been made."
"Yeates and Tuoma had been out seeing Cirque du Soleil and getting a burrito at El Farolito, as the Chronicle reports, and had gone to 16th Street to meet up with friends. Yeates suffered a traumatic brain injury, as well as fractures in her knee and ankle. She is scheduled for surgery Thursday and Tuoma says that she remains in significant pain."
