San Carlos Woman Drives on Belmont Sidewalks, Collides With Maserati

A 21-year-old San Carlos woman was taken to an area hospital for evaluation Wednesday evening after a reckless drive through Belmont, which ended in a collision.

Belmont police say that the woman, whose name is being withheld, was passing cars on the wrong side of the road in the northbound lane of Sixth Avenue near Ralston Avenue at about 5:30 p.m. The vehicle, a Volkswagen sedan, then traveled west on Ralston Avenue where it reportedly was passing cars by driving on the sidewalk. The car then turned onto southbound Alameda de las Pulgas, and then attempted to turn right onto Carlmont Drive.

However, police say the Volkswagen took the turn onto Carlmont Drive wide, and stopped at the curb, narrowly missing a parked car. The driver then attempted to back up, but collided with a Maserati sedan that was eastbound on Carlmont Drive.

Responding officers contacted the driver, who was unlicensed, and determined she was uninjured. Officers say she appeared to be suffering from some type of emotional crisis and was transported to an area hospital for evaluation. The driver of the Maserati was not injured in the collision.
