A tragic hit-and-run accident occurred on April 30 in Palo Alto, California, when Dr. Caroline Compton Sigman, 79, a prominent medical researcher, was fatally struck by a red Mitsubishi near the intersection of Forest Avenue and Lincoln Avenue. The crash took place around 9 p.m., and the driver, 52-year-old Ignacio Estrada, fled the scene. Shortly after, Estrada was arrested near his mobile home in East Palo Alto. He was booked into the Santa Clara County Jail on charges of vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run causing injury. Estrada was involved in another hit-and-run incident minutes earlier, but no one was hurt. The investigation is ongoing. We send our thoughts and prayers to the family of the victim.
