[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The driver of the van who killed Allie Hart came to a complete stop. Then he proceeded to start through the intersection and Allie came down the sidewalk and without stopping continued into the street, where she and her adult did not, in fact, have the right of way.

It is tragic beyond belief. But the driver STOPPED and then commenced to drive thru a clear crosswalk.  [/quote]

What speed was he going - I mean cmon - if he just started up from a complete stop this would not have resulted in death.[/quote]

There are a couple of scenarios I could envisage where the driver could have truly been not at fault. These would include her traveling very fast across the crosswalk, hitting the side of the vehicle, and being caught underneath the vehicle. But we should not have to speculate. Whatever happened, the release of the full investigatory report would provide a basis for the city to make changes to road regulations that would reduce the chances of similar accidents. Why, after 15 months, do we not have a report?[/quote]

Why are you, and maybe a few others (or just you) so invested in trying to cast blame on a five year old for a drivers error? It's really freaking weird[/quote]

Not PP.  I am simply vested in you not lying.  Stop making up facts. [/quote]
