This news is already making the rounds at the Courthouse and in order to get some facts out, I have some exclusive information from an eye witness from the multiple vehicle collision on I street two days ago. The eye witness did not give too any details at EPD's request becaus it could compromise the ongoing investigation.
In order to dispel any rumors about injuries to one of the victims, I am doing this post which includes a message via her colleague, friend and local attorney Mr. Douglas Kaber,
There were 7 cars involved. In addition to the male pedestrian who died, one of the people severely injured is Humboldt Bar Association President and former Public Defender Jennifer Dixon. Ms. Dixon had left her office on 7th and I, "her vehicle was hit from behind by another vehicle traveling at great speed." That impact caused her to collide with other vehicles. The yellow marks in the crosswalk near 7th and I is where Ms. Dixon was injured. The other photo shows skid marks.While stairs were hit in this multi vehicle collision, other damage is from "two or three months ago."
An ambulance transported Ms. Dixon to Providence. Ms. Dixon suffered multiple fractures and broken bones. She is awake and alert. Ms. Dixon is still in the hospital, is expected to return to full duty although recovery time is uncertain. It could be months.
Ms. Dixon appreciates and thanks everyone in the legal community who has reached out. Ms. Dixon is asking for privacy while she heals and asking "for no visitors at this time." She does not want flowers but cards or messages can be sent to Kaber Law offices. Ms. Dixon and Kaber Law offices share an office suite. I saw Mr. Kaber near 7th and I this morning. He is still upset, shocked and teared up while talking about his friend and colleague. Mr. Kaber and Ms. Dixon both work in juvenile and dependency court and see each other daily.
"Her personality and wit is intact," said Mr. Kaber. "While she has no memory of the incident, she still remembers what happened in court earlier that day."
St. Bernard's priest Fr. Bernard was on the scene before police arrived on Wednesday and was helping people.
