The driver in the West Portal car crash has been released from the hospital. Meanwhile we hear from relatives of the family killed for the first time.

We are learning more about the family of four killed in a horrific crash on Saturday afternoon in San Francisco's West Portal neighborhood. The father, Diego Cardoso de Oliveira and their toddler son, Joaquim, were killed when a white Mercedes SUV plowed into them at a bus stop near the intersection of Ulloa Street and Lenox Way. The mother, Matilde, died a day later. Their infant, 3-month-old Cauê, spent days in the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Investigators are likely determining hat charges, if any, are warranted for the driver responsible. Lenette Thompson, a recently retired firefighter, who lives just a block from the scene shared how sorrowful the community is. She read from a card a child left. "This shouldn't have happened. I'm really sorry. I hope you're happy in heaven and together," it read. Thompson said many jumped in to help when the crash happened.
