Per the above, the 29 YO perp ran a red light.
And no ID for her yet.
Prayers up for these people.
I never, ever, ever walk into a crosswalk until I have made eye contact with a driver and the driver is slowing or stopped.
Never.
This is one of the reasons why, amongst others.
Of course, I am one of those people who, when the light changes for me to cross a busy road, I look both ways before depressing the accelerator. Quickly, mind you, but I do look.
NYC Council eyes ‘illuminated’ solar-power crosswalks to curb pedestrian deaths
Yup, that'll make drivers obey traffic controls.
SNORT.
“the suspect kept driving to the Midtown tunnel toward Queens, sources said.”
Someone in a hurry to get to Queens?
The driver fled the scene, but got into an accident about a half an hour later on the Long Island Expressway at 188th St. in Fresh Meadows, police said. She was taken into custody.
The bad news is, she probably won't face serious consequences. It all depends on several factors:
1. How many "protected class" points does the driver check off?
2. Is the driver politically or financially well connected?
3. How many "protected class" points do the victims in the crosswalk check off?
A Trump hating Democrat... what to beat the DA is too busy chasing bogus charges against Trump to charge the driver!
Honda Accords are the apparent problem.
I have made is a point to NOT walk in crosswalks when cars are approaching - or to walk in front of cars that are in a crosswalk.
This is after my husband was almost hit and killed by someone who ran a stop sign in front of our house - we watch cars zoom through the stop sign all day long, some don’t even slow down and it’s very well marked - there is an elementary school 1/2 block away.
The city was supposed to put in a light, but in 30 years, it’s never happened.
Sounds like she might have been a bit hammered…
BTTT
