Follow Up to the November 26th Pedestrian Tagically Killed on Route 17
R. Marsal
The woman that was killed was my mother. She had never taken a bus in her life. I was waiting in the park and ride across the highway where i had dropped her off. There is NO place to park on the side she was dropped off.
If i had known that she was going to be dropped off on that side I would have been waiting on the bench for her. She was dropped off in the dark on the side of the highway and she was probably not given any instructions on how to get to the park and ride. She apparently was trying to get to the brightly lit gas station to ask questions.
People with rude and insensitive comments should re-examine their thoughts and hearts. She was a mother, grandmother, aunt, and a loving productive member of the community. She was healthy. She ran a successful business. She was going to a concert the next day. She was planning a vacation. Her death is a great loss to her family, friends and community. God bless all of you.
