At 11pm, a crash occured when a Mercedes SUV travelling northbound on Hwy. 27 collided with a Honda Civic as it turned onto southbound Hwy. 27. The Civic was carrying a family of four, including the woman’s 33-year-old husband and their two young children. The crash killed the 29-year-old mother and sent her 6-year-old daughter to hospital with life-threatening injuries. Police said the mother was sitting in the back seat of the car, which had considerable damage. The back left tire was found lying about 60 metres from the car. Another relative was travelling behind the Civic when the accident happened, but was not involved in the crash. Police arrested the 45-year-old driver of the Mercedes for failing to remain at the scene of the crash. They say he attempted to flee the scene on foot. He is facing multiple charges, including at least one related to impaired driving.
The questions I would ask would be:
#1) What other car crashes or incidents had the 45-year-old man (driving the Mercedes) been in before?
#2) Had the 45-year-old man been intoxicated during the time that the crash occured?
#3) Had there been any other encounters between the people in the crash?
#4) What was the reason for the 45-year-old man to flee the crime?
These are very good questions Kaveri. In short, did the driver of the SUV have a record of these kinds of behaviours and crimes. You're questions, however, lead to one more: why do you think he fled the scene? When you've a moment, answer this question by making another comment below. Great job!
