Michael Alexander Williams, 31, was charged with vehicular manslaughter and drunk driving in a deadly crash that took the life of former KTVU news director Fred Zehnder.
On the night of June 27, 2021, Zehnder, 87, was walking in the crosswalk at the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Walnut Street when he was struck and killed by a truck driven by Williams.
The sudden loss of Fred Zehnder, KTVU's news director of 21 years, is being felt throughout the Bay Area news world and beyond. His contributions have left a lasting impact on KTVU. "He truly made that station what it is. All the people that you see on the air, that you once upon a time respected, or still respect now, thank Fred for them. Fred hired them. Fred molded them. Fred was that newsroom," said former KTVU political editor Randy Shandobil.
