Rohnert Park woman injured in crosswalk on road to recovery

Ling Murray walked the other day.

The few, tentative steps were triumphant for Ling, who was horribly injured and her 2-year-old daughter, Calli, killed when a car driven by a young woman apparently distracted by texting hit them Dec. 1 in a Rohnert Park crosswalk.

Ling and her husband, Jeff, both expect to attend a community benefit for their family Sunday afternoon at the Sally Tomatoes event center on Rohnert Park's Valley House Drive.

The sponsoring Fabulous Women of Petaluma (petalumawomen.com) invite everyone to come, bring an appetizer or dessert to share, enjoy some of Pasta King Art Ibleto's food and groove to the music of Wonder Bread 5.
