NEWS WITH SARA DONCHEY ON CBS NEWS BAY AREA. >>> HELLO, I'M SARA DONCHEY. WE DO START WITH A STORY THAT SO DEEPLY UPSET ALL OF US HERE TONIGHT, SO MUCH SO THAT IT'S DIFFICULT TO EVEN TALK ABOUT. A FAMILY OUT DOING SOMETHING AS INNOCENT AS GOING FOR A WALK ON A STREET IN SAN FRANCISCO HAD THEIR LIVES TURNED UPSIDE DOWN TODAY. THEIR FOUR-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WAS HIT BY A CAR AND KILLED. THE CRASH HAPPENED AT 5:15 THIS EVENING AT 4th AND KING RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE CAL TRAIN STATION AND JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM ORACLE PARK WHERE THE GIANTS WERE ABOUT TO PLAY. OUR BETTY YU IS IN MISSION BAY TONIGHT WITH MORE ON WHY THERE HAVE BEEN CONCERNS ABOUT SAFETY IN THIS VERY SPOT. >> Reporter: THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED DURING THE HEIGHT OF RUSH HOUR AND TRAFFIC DUE TO TH GIANTS GAME, SO THERE WERE A LO OF CARS AND PEDESTRIANS AROUND AT THAT TIME. A WITNESS WHO CALLED 911 TOLD ME OFF CAMERA THAT SHE SAW THE YOUNG GIRL UNDERNEATH THE CAR AND MULTIPLE PEOPLE TRIED TO HELP LIFT IT. A NURSE PASSED BY AND ALSO PERFORMED CPR, BUT IT WAS UNFORTUNATELY TOO LATE. A FOUR-YEAR-OLD GIRL WAS KILLED. THE PARENTS WERE PUSHING THEIR CHILD IN THE STROLLER IN THE CROSSWALK WHEN THEY WERE HIT BY THE GRAY MERCEDES SUV ACCORDING TO POLICE. IT ALSO LOOKS LIKE THE CAR HIT A POLE IN THE MEDIAN. WE LATER SAW THE DRIVER SITTING IN THE BACK OF A POLICE VEHICLE. WITNESSES SAID CARS WERE ABLE TO TURN AT THE TIME BUT HAD TO YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS THEY TOLD US ONE DRIVER IN A WHITE TRUCK DID SO, BUT THE DRIVER IN THE SUV WAS NOT ABLE TO. THE FATHER SUFFERED LIFE THREATENING INJURIES. THE FOUR-YEAR-OLD WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD AT THE HOSPITAL. THE MOTHE WAS NOT INJURED. POLICE SAID TH VICTIMS WERE NOT FROM THE AREA. THE DRIVER STAYED ON SCENE AND IS COOPERATING WITH POLICE. WE SPOKE WITH RESIDENTS NEARBY WHO SAY THIS IS AN INTERSECTION WHERE THEY HAVE TO USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN CROSSING. WHAT'S I LIKE AS PEDESTRIANS CROSSING TH STREET? ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR DOG? >> YEAH, I MEAN FOR THE MOST PART, I THINK IT'S SAFE, BUT I MEAN, LIKE, THIS IS LIKE A MAJOR, YOU KNOW, THE FREEWAY IS LIKE RIGHT THERE, AND SO THIS I LIKE A VERY BUSY AREA. THERE'S ALWAYS, I'VE NEVER SEEN LIKE IT EMPTY. THERE'S ALWAYS CARS HERE AND SO, YOU KNOW, I'M ALWAYS NERVOUS. ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECKING AROUND HERE AND MAKING SURE IT' ACTUALLY SAFE TO CROSS. >> WHEN I GO TAKE THE TRAIN FOR WORK, I CROSS THIS INTERSECTION WITH MY BIKE, AND I THINK IT'S REALLY DANGEROUS. LIKE, I HAVE TO REALLY MAKE SURE NO ONE IS COMING, AND PEEP OFTEN TRY TO TURN ON RED WHEN THE CROSSWALK SIGN IS GOING. YOU HAVE TO REALLY PAY ATTENTION. >> Reporter: POLICE SAY IMPAIRMENT DUE TO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE A FACTOR AT THIS TIME. THEY'RE STILL COMBING THROUGH EVIDENCE, INCLUDING SURVEILLANCE VIDEO, AND THEY WOULD NOT SPEAK TO ANY ARREST OR DETAINMENT. >> WE DID REACH OUT TO PEDESTRIAN SAFETY GROUP WALK SF FOR THEIR TAKE ON GAME DAY TRAFFIC CONTROL, WHETHER THERE' EN
