Mary Fong Lau, an 80-year-old woman, received two years of probation and a suspended driver's license for a March 2024 car crash in San Francisco that killed a family of four. Lau, who was driving up to 70 mph, crashed into a bus shelter, resulting in the immediate deaths of Diego Cardoso de Oliveira and his one-year-old son, Joaquim Ramos Pinto de Oliveira.
