This baffles me:
MIAMI (AP) – Actress Robin Givens struck and critically injured an 89-year-old pedestrian in a crosswalk, police said Thursday. Givens . . . struck Maria Antonia Alcover with her sport utility vehicle Wednesday as the elderly woman was crossing a busy intersection during rush hour, police spokesman Delrish Moss said. Police have ruled it an accident. Witnesses said Alcover had gotten more than halfway across the street when the northbound/southbound light turned green and Givens’ 2000 Mercedes SUV struck her. Police said Givens’ car had been stopped at the traffic light before the accident. After being hit, Alcover fell backward and her right foot was nearly severed, police said. Givens drove for about 10 feet before witnesses flagged her down. The actress stopped her vehicle, walked back to the victim and stayed with her while police and fire rescue workers reached the scene. Givens, 39, of New York, was issued a traffic summons for failing to use due care when a pedestrian is in the crosswalk. “We’re looking at it as a pure accident and we don’t expect any additional criminal charges whatsoever,” Moss said.
Ummmm . . . So you can just run down people in the middle of crosswalks in Miami and it’s OK? I’m not putting this in the Pit because I’m more confused than furious . . .
