Police in San Mateo are asking the driver in a fatal hit-and-run case involving a pedestrian to come forward, the department said Tuesday.
Just before 9 p.m. Saturday, Mark Kremer, 56, was struck and killed by a vehicle just west of the 1400 block of Fashion Island Boulevard, approaching the bridge toward South Norfolk Street.
San Mateo police are looking for any witnesses or people who may have video footage that could have captured the collision. Anyone who works, resides in or was just visiting that area on Saturday at that time should please review any camera footage of the location between South Norfolk Street and Chess Drive (or any adjoining streets).
Police are especially concentrating on the area of 1400 Fashion Island Blvd. and South Norfolk Street from Saturday, Feb. 8, between the times of 8:45-9 p.m.
Police are also looking for dash cam footage of any vehicles traveling east or westbound on Fashion Island Boulevard to or from South Norfolk Street who may have captured other vehicles in the area prior to, leading up to, and/or after the crash.
“We understand how incredibly difficult this can be for not only the victim’s family, but also for the driver of the vehicle,” police said. “If you are the person responsible for this tragic accident, we encourage you to find the strength and courage to come forward vs. us having to find you. Leaving the scene of an accident is not an easy thing to carry and we understand that it is likely weighing on you. The stress of the unknown can be a heavy burden to bear, but we urge you to do the right thing and come forward.”
