Gregory Lowrie, 25, was on his way to a health clinic for treatment for a heart condition, when an 80-year-old man hit him with his truck. The impact threw him about 50 feet.
When the driver got out of his vehicle to help Lowrie, who was not moving, his wallet was stolen from his truck. And so was the victim’s, who witnesses say appeared lifeless to the gathering crowd.
Another witness said, "It's ridiculous. You have a person who's injured. You have a man who hit this individual. He's scared. It's sad. It really is sad."
"Well we were supposed to meet up. We were going to the food bank after he goes down to the clinic," Margaret Lowrie, the victim's mother, told ABC7. "This is a wonderful neighborhood, but there's some lousy people here."
Margaret says they lost their home in Berkeley two years ago.
"You know, when you're down, things just sort of kick you… it seems like. I don't know… It's bad," she said.
Lowrie has been living with his mother in an RV. He suffered a brain injury, broken bones, and organ damage in the crash and remains in critical condition.
