BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Bloomington police arrested Madelyn Howard, 22, early Sunday morning for allegedly running over an IU student riding on a scooter northbound on Walnut Street approaching 12th Street.
Nate Stratton, 20, suffered fatal injuries.
Seventeen hours later, Howard bonded out of the Monroe County Jail after posting $2,000 in bail.
”That’s just incomprehensible. It’s one thing if she stopped and had some remorse but the fact that she kept going,” said Brad Stratton as he huddled with family members at the site where his son was struck and killed.
“The detective told us she drove four blocks forward, two blocks to the right and then took another right, so she drove six-to-eight blocks trying to evade the situation and had her windshield cracked, her car was destroyed, she was dragging a scooter. I mean, give me a break.”
An Accident Report filed by BPD illustrates that Howard’s Mercedes Benz swerved onto the bike path while traveling an estimated 50-70 miles per hour, struck Stratton and continued north.
A video shared by an Uber driver shows the car turning eastbound on 17th Street moments later, dragging the unoccupied scooter beneath it, spewing out sparks.
”She tried to get bystanders to take the scooter out from under her car so she could keep driving and luckily the police showed up in time,” said Cecilia Stratton, Nate’s sister, who was briefed by a detective.

Had to read it 4 times.
You are experiencing the exact same reaction to the headline that I had.
Who writes these things?
Are there no longer editors who hand the copy back to the reporter and say “go re-write this and if you hand me another article written in gibberish you can clean out your desk?”
This story is tragic and the poor sentence structure of the headline is more evidence of the unacceptable educational system in the USA.
A public-school failure wrote the headline.
In a better world the perpetrator would be executed in short order.
It infers no such thing. That’s exactly what it says.
“Woman jailed in killing of student on motor scooter is released on bond”.
That wasn’t so hard, now was it?
How much should I be making as an editor?
Agreed; I’m just noting that the purposes of bail do not include punishment. They do include making sure the accused shows up and ensuring that he / she is not presenting a danger in the meantime, such that she should be locked up. Of course, our 1/6 persecutors are ignoring this. As are the Soros prosecutors in cities across America.
That’s not the actual headline from the story.
Why do posters have such apparent difficulty copying and pasting the EXACT headline? It’s not rocket science after all.
Yeah, I guess writing a coherent headline is just too difficult for today’s news professionals. Such idiots.
Typical.
Woman kills man. “Give me a break.”
Man kills woman. Everyone here loses their collective thirsty simp cuck shiite.
Why was the killed person in jail?
Huh? It is a miracle for a dead person to bond out of jail! Now that is a headline!
Are you sure you copied the headline correctly?
Per info at the linked article it was updated about 3 hours after being originally posted. Perhaps they corrected the headline at that time.
Makes sense
What school did the author of this article go to?
What school did the editor of the article go to?
Hope they can both get refunds.
