I live in this neighborhood where this happened. And I have to say. I am not surprised at all that this has happened!! Yes it is sad. And I hope this young lady gets better soon. But many things lead to this.. People who live along that coroner often park on the street all the way to the intersection of Ride and Jet Wing. I have many times had to pray and take the risk of getting hit by oncoming traffic on Jetwing do to the fact that a car or truck being parked on either side of Ride making it hard to see on coming traffic .There were many vehicles parked on the street that night.. And the fact that people speed up and down Jetwing like its a drag strip!! I'm welling to say that she was blocked from view to this car while stepping off the curb.. Hopefully this person does the right thing and turn themselves in..
