[quote=Anonymous]All of you who are blaming this kid need to go kick rocks and think about why you don't have any empathy. He was in a crosswalk. He almost got to the other side and an SUV hit him at a rate of speed greater than the speed limit. You can tell by the photos of the damaged vehicle and the stopping distance where the car ended up. SUVs are more likely to cause a fatal injury. Potential for fatal injury increases substantially every 5-10 miles that speed increases. There was a camera in this area until a few months ago when the contract lapsed. Drivers did slow down while it was there. There is a 3/4 mile stretch without a signal between Newport Mill and Westfield Wheaton. This includes multiple intersections with neighborhood streets and apartment complexes. And at the end of the day here, a young man who seems to have been a really good kid, is gone thanks to multiple layers of policy failures. [/quote]
