Edmund Rabauliman is a retired Emergency Management Office employee, according to his daughter Lin who told Variety that the auto-pedestrian collision occurred around 7 p.m.
She said her father had a surgery Saturday morning for the facial injuries he sustained.
At the time of the accident, she was at their home and cooking dinner.
“He was coming home from the store. He was crossing the road on his way over here. We don’t know everything because I was cooking at that time. Our neighbor came out and told us to check our dad because he was hit by a car.”
She said the driver of the Toyota Tacoma that hit her father got out of his vehicle to check on him.
The driver apologized to her and their family at the scene and told them he did not see her father crossing the road.
She said visibility is bad on the road especially at night, adding that pedestrians and drivers should take extra precaution when in areas that are not well lit.
“I just want to say if you want to cross the street, please don’t jaywalk, use the cross walk. Also, drivers should be more cautious, especially when it’s dark,” she added.
