i know the driver personally. it was dark, and the girl was jaywalking. yes he saw other cars swerving but didn't realize why until he hit her. that boy is totally broken up about it because they work together and was holding her at the scene crying and apologizing over and over. he wasn't one of those "fools". my prayers go out to allison.

"trying to cross the street even in a cross walk is dangerous.People start to cross and you have someone trying to turn right on red or running a stop sign or speeding that they dont see these fools in the their cars.Its all about me me me,nobody cares for anyone anymore"

Why are you assuming the driver is at fault here? Do see some other details in the article that I missed?

This is the same location where the young girl was killed crossing the street while walking to school because she though she missed her bus. It must have been a year or two ago. So sad, it's a really busy, major artery.
