Police Seek Help Identifying Pickup Driver Who Hit Pedestrian in Pleasanton, Provided False Information

Police in Pleasanton are asking for the public's help in identifying a man suspected of hitting a woman with a truck and providing false information.

Surveillance video from the Dec. 21, 2018 incident shows a woman walking in a marked crosswalk on Tom Burnett Lane when a truck turns into the street from Johnson Drive, striking the pedestrian. Police said the woman suffered non-life threatening injuries.
