According to the Placer County District Attorney's Office, a man from the Antelope Valley who pled guilty to hitting and killing a pedestrian with his vehicle will be sentenced in August.

The District Attorney's office says that the man, Jeremy Sarguis, is expected to receive sentencing on August 10.  In May, Sarguis pled guilty to one count of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death as well as two counts of conspiracy.

During the morning hours of February 4^th, Sarguis hit a 47 year old woman by the name of Vickie Janell Scott on Interstate 80.  Instead of stopping, he fled the scene of the car accident and conspired with his two passengers to repair and clean his car.

Now, Sarguis faces five years in state prison for his offense.

In Los Angeles, a woman by the name of Lauren Rosenberg has recently filed a lawsuit against internet Giant, Google. In her lawsuit, she accuses Google of being "careless, reckless and negligent" because the search provider gave her unsafe walking directions.

Rosenberg said that she followed Google's walking directions on her Blackberry.  The directions had her cross a dual carriageway that she asserts was not safe for pedestrians.  While walking, Rosenberg was hit by a speeding car before she got half way across the road.  She said that the pedestrian accident led to her suffering many broken bones. 

Her personal injury lawyer said, "We think there's enough fault to go around - but Google had some responsibility to direct people correctly or warn them."  He also asserted that Google created a trap by providing faulty walking directions.

At this time, Rosenberg is requesting that Google pay for her medical expenses, lost wages and emotional distress.  Google has not issued a comment about the claim.
