Driver was high school senior from next town. Obviously devastating for him and his family. Cooperating fully, stayed at scene, may have made the 911 call. Feel badly for the kid.
Stories going around...not confirmed...
1.Driver was 'distracted', according to chief of police. Possibly was texting.
2.Victim was in crosswalk, dropped phone, went back and was bent over when struck.
What I do know from a doctor who was on the scene, was that Allie was gone, never knew what hit her, had no brain activity when she was loaded into the ambulance. She was kept 'alive' long enough for her mother to get back in town.
Wake this evening, funeral tomorrow. I will see the parents after. Better for me as opposed to with the masses that will be there today and tomorrow. Streets already posted to be closed around church. Town is a wreck.
Police chief's advice; "When your kid gets behind the wheel of a car, have them throw their cell phone in the back seat....."
