    What was the pedestrian’s BAC? Was the driver a “victim of circumstances”? Three lives ruined by a jaywalker.

      Yeah that woman who was killed was someone’s family member. Try MY family member. Maybe instead of blaming the person killed blame the MURDER. I pray your family makes it home safe tonight.

        I am so sorry for the loss you have suffered from this senseless act. Are you doing any fundraisers to help with funeral costs? Some have been asking and sense the names haven’t been released people aren’t sure how to help
