Someone named Anonymous has taken offense to our post of 12/23/2011 regarding the traffic accident on the Bruckner Expressway at 3 a.m. on 12/22/2011 wherein a young woman named Margaret Donnelly was killed when she drove the wrong way and collided with a Mercedes Benz and a tractor trailer truck. Four people were injured in the Mercedes.
Anonymous is very angry and is going to continue to report us to Blogger until either the post or the entire blog is deleted.
In the post we opined that whereas it was not a given that someone driving the wrong way on a highway in the middle of the night after socializing with friends was drunk, we thought it was almost a given.
We have been unable to secure the autopsy results for the deceased. Perhaps she was under the influence, or had a seizure, a heart attack, a stroke or an embolism or was in perfect health with no obvious reason for the accident.
It is an absolute tragedy and our sympathy goes out to her family and friends.
What we have been witnessing of late seems to be an increase in the number of people who drive in the wrong direction on our streets and highways. Diane Schuler was perhaps the most famous when she drove the wrong way on the Taconic Parkway and ended up killing herself and eight others. Autopsy results showed she was intoxicated and stoned.
For some reason the young lady killed in December was going the wrong way. Maybe she was tired and missed some signs that would have aided her in her travels. Perhaps New York State and/or City will be sued for not having enough signs or signs that are not clear to the average motorist.
Anonymous, this entire incident is a tragedy from the start; however, we reserve the right to have our opinions and to share them in this medium.
