ORANGE CITY — A pregnant librarian was killed in a road rage incident after she instigated a fight with a motorcyclist, police said.
Orange City police said 35-year-old Sara Morales was shot outside her home following an argument with another motorist. Police said Morales intentionally hit the motorcycle Saturday and then fled the scene. Authorities said the motorcyclist and a witness followed her, trying to get her to stop.
The motorcyclist told police they called police while following the librarian back to her home.
According to police, Morales went inside, returned with a gun and a confrontation occurred in the road. The motorcyclist allegedly shot Morales multiple times. The pregnant woman and mother of an 11-year-old was pronounced dead at the hospital, Fox 35 Orlando reported.
Police said the motorcyclist has a concealed weapons permit, remained at the scene and has been cooperating with investigators.
The investigation is ongoing. No charges have been filed.
PA RT 16 is a flat two lane county stretch in the middle of nowhere.
Even if I had a bluetooth headset, no one would’ve gotten there in an hour or more.
I was lucky God watched over me that day.
I still get chills every time ‘Hard Hearted Alice’ pops up on my playlist, though.
Yeah, your post kind of did imply that it was the motorcyclist’s fault at least a bit. I don’t see it that way other than perhaps maybe at the initial collision (because we don’t know what precisely happened for the collision to occur.) However, the car driver is clearly responsible for literally everything after the actual collision. In the current parlance, she f**ked around and found out.
I had to go back and re-read-I believe my major issue was that if I were confronted with a visibly pregnant woman (even one pointing a gun at me) I don’t know if I could shoot her to save my own life.
I regard that as a weakness or flaw on my part that I would probably pay for with my life if the circumstances were right.
I think otherwise, I was on the side of the motorcycle rider.
