TBS Today, Aug. 31

The family of a man who died recently after a driver struck him on his evening walk in Berkeley has organized a candlelight vigil tonight to honor him.

Dinh Le lived just a few blocks from the intersection where a driver struck him Aug. 17, in the Elmwood neighborhood at Derby and Regent streets next to Willard Park.

On Sunday, we spoke with his family to learn more about him.

“He loved walking,” his oldest son, Nhan Nguyen Le, said Sunday afternoon. “It’s so sad that was what took his life.”
