[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know what actually happened?

It seems like the dad shouldn't have let a small child bike across the crosswalk alone.  But is that what happened?[/quote]

The driver hit the child in a crosswalk and killed her. That's what happened.[/quote]

Did she dart out on her bike or was she watching for traffic?  Where was the dad?  The the truck stop at the stop sign?  [/quote]

She was five. There are no circumstances where it's acceptable for a five-year-old to be killed by a driver. Instead of asking whom to blame, please ask how to prevent this from happening to others. What can we do to make streets that are safe for five-year-olds?

There is nothing you can do to prevent this from happening again, ok. It is absolutely tragic and it's horrible, but pedestrian deaths are a fact of life.

Driving is not taken seriously in this country. People just don't pay attention. But I don't think you or anyone else can change those things.[/quote]
