• #MARTA BUS HITS CAR DRIVERS#

One day someone is going to get killed at that intersection, and I wonder then whether anything will be done about it.

#MARTA BUS HITS CAR DRIVERS#

My law office is at the corner of Peachtree Street and 15th Street in Midtown, and I personally see numerous drivers run the red light at the intersection every day, and yet nothing is ever done about it. Atlanta is particularly dangerous for pedestrians. So what is wrong with Atlanta drivers? Many obviously ignore the rules of the road, as evidenced not only by this horrible collision but also by the fact that the police officer there had already written six tickets for the same violation just moments earlier. The Clarkston police chief said the driver who hit the little girl had a lengthy history of disobeying the rules of the road and that he “has no regard for the law.” She died on what would have been her first day of school at Indian Creek Elementary School. The family had been in Atlanta only for a few days having immigrated here from Nepal. This is a tragedy beyond all proportions. He had just written tickets to six other drivers for passing on the double yellow line and was just about to go after this particular SUV driver when the driver hit the little girl.

A Clarkston police officer who was parked on the corner of Ponce de Leon Avenue saw the wreck. The SUV driver violated the Georgia Rules of the Road by crossing a double yellow line when he struck the little girl. The driver of the SUV has now turned himself in this morning to police and faces vehicular homicide charges. My heart is heavy and sad this morning after hearing the news that the little six year old girl who was struck by an SUV driver as she was exiting a MARTA bus died yesterday due to internal injuries suffered in this horrible collision.
