She along with 3 other children were killed up on impact as the driver was going approximately 58 MPH while on his phone. He applied his brakes .06 seconds before hitting them. Had they been paying attention to the road\, they would have A - had the opportunity to see this car sitting in the left lane\, waiting to turn left and could have moved to the right hand lane (where he should have been to begin with - as it is a requirement to stay in the right lane unless you are passing). We do not want YOUR family or friends to have to suffer the loss we did - nor do we want YOU to be the cause of another family's suffering. So please join us to learn more and always remember to JUST DRIVE - hands on the steering wheel\, eyes on the road\, and get there alive.\n\n\n\nSee our website at runsignup.com/stopdd5K for more details for each year's event.
