Elderly Driver Sentenced to Probation in West Portal Family Crash
An 80-year-old driver, Mary Fong Lau, was sentenced in San Francisco to six days in jail (time served), two years of probation, and 200 hours of community service for the West Portal crash that killed a family of four; Lau pleaded no contest, with the judge citing her age and clean record; she faces a three-year driving ban with license renewal possible after that period; the DA criticizes the outcome as insufficient accountability, and civil cases allege asset transfers during litigation; witnesses say she hit the gas instead of the brakes, and no mechanical issues were found.
