US DOT (U.S. Dept. of Transportation) 2-22-11:
Caveat by Dianne Anderson, Casey’s mother:In the effort to spread the word that even momentary distractions while driving can result in deadly consequences, the facts of Casey’s accident have become distorted through some of the media coverage of the U.S.DOT’s Faces of Distracted Driving video. Casey was in a marked crosswalk on the north side of 14th St crossing Central Ave. at the time of the accident. She was heading eastbound toward the boardwalk, had walked across the westbound lane and was in the center of the east lane on Central Ave. at the time of the accident just steps away from the curb. The driver was travelling northbound (in the east lane) on Central Ave. in a 25 mph speed zone, and had a stop sign at the south side of the 14th St intersection. From there, the driver had to proceed through the marked crosswalk on the south side of the intersection and through two lanes of travel on 14th St. before arriving at the crosswalk on the north side of the intersection where Casey was crossing. It is abundantly clear that this driver was distracted for more than just a second or two, particularly given the fact that he never even saw her.
