[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maury neighbor here. I agree, it's not fair to just blame 'Maryland drivers' for this. We've all got to get to work every day and I don't begrudge anyone for doing so. The problem is a serious one, though. It's really out of control and needs to be reigned in. That's MPDC's responsibility, with appropriate direction from elected authority. I hope we don't have to have a child killed before that happens. If this little girl's injuries were accurately reported up thread[b], there's little question the driver who hit her was speeding. [/b]A broken pelvis is excruciatingly painful and usually occurs when a pedestrian is thrown way up in the air when hit. It's the landing on the pavement that will break a pelvis and there's no way that would happen at [b]the 15 m.p.h. speed limit around Maury. [/b] Prayers for the child and her family. We need to get this under control, now. [/quote] The 15 mph speed limit is during school hours. This was after school hours. It's horrible what happened to the little girl, no question about it. , Everyone wants to blame the evil Maryland driver, but the fact is the child went into the street when the driver had the green. Yes, a person can most certainly get a cracked pelvis when hit at 25 mph or less. Big car, little child. We are talking basic physics here.[/quote]
