A cab driver injures 25 people , 6 critically & amputated legs in the crash. Anyone else notice the news never mentioned the cab drivers name nor posted a photo of him? One would think with this many injuries a responsible new source would provided photos of the driver and his name, over 8 hours after the incident.

Driver must have been flying through bodies with intention. Was is a hot spot for military?

One thing for sure: he is either an illegal or a muslim.

The Emerald Cab taxi driver, whose name was not released, was heading south on Sixth, a one-way street, about 2 a.m. when for unknown reasons he veered into the crowd just outside the clubs doors, Jarvis said.
Releasing the drivers name might provide some clues as to why he veered into the crowd.

When emergency crews first arrived, they were initially asked to evacuate the noninjured from the area because of a concern that the taxi might have explosives, Luque said.
This may be a clue about the driver.

a bag with wires coming out of it on the seat of the taxi, but it turned out to be a massager.
Maybe he was, uh, distracted...

It was just after 2am. That’s when bars close in California.

“patrons? I think the term is skanks and drunks leaving a club at 5:22 AM....”
The article was UPDATED at 5:22 am...the accident happened around 2 am. Besides, why would it matter what time it was? No reason to call patrons skanks and drunks!

Witnesses said he was going around 15 miles an hour....that the taxi seemed to have “drifted” onto the sidewalk. He said he passed out. Police say he might have fallen asleep and that no alcohol was involved.

“What is his name????”
I have been in MANY taxicabs in NYC. I have yet to have a Caucasian driver. I’m sure the same goes for San Diego. He’ll either be Hispanic or Muslim. I don’t know why that makes a difference.

The police saw wires coming from a package on the front seat of the cab. Turned out to be a massager. No bomb.

Why do I think, prior to the act, he shouted 'Allah Akbar?'

Now about 32 hours into this story and still no information any where about the driver, no photos, no police report. No follow up on the condition of all the injured. The San Diego news doesn’t even mention it today. AP has no further follow up. Unusual with this large an incident that there is no follow up. Recall the wall to wall weeks of coverage over the Gilliford injury. In our town if you hit someones fence and break it, your name is in the local paper under police reports, ticket or no ticket. I found a San Diego attorney website already advertising how to sue the cab company and driver. The attorneys are talking; the MEDIA is not. Any San Diego Freepers have any information?
