A California father died after being struck by a car Thursday night while helping a family of ducks cross a busy road, witnesses said.
The horrifying crash took place at Stanford Ranch Road and Park Drive in the city of Rocklin, about 22 miles from Sacramento, just after 8 p.m.
William Wimsatt, a 12-year-old boy who witnessed the kindhearted stranger’s actions, told KCRA 3 the man had stepped out of his car to help the ducks avoid traffic. “He got out of the car and was shooing the ducks and everyone was clapping because he was being really nice,” William said.

Rocklin’s one of CA’s few remaining conservative areas, but you knew that.

I think he’s referring to the drunk woman at Folly Beach S.C. that killed a man that had just gotten married.

The driver, a 17-year-old girl, is cooperating with authorities Situational Awareness, my FRiends.
Learn it. Live it. Love it.
Situational Awareness keeps you from having to "cooperate with authorities".

This ranks up there with a Tampa local story ...
Trooper shuts down interstate traffic to facilitate ducks crossing highway.
How much greater is there a chance of an accident from stopped traffic when stupidity rules one’s brain?
