From the article:

- Driver-at-fault ran a red light, hit another car and careened around, striking a 70 year old crossing guard. The driver was speeding to take his two young children to preschool.

- The victim was standing on the sidewalk at Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and Belcher Road.

- The area has just been named the second most dangerous place for pedestrians in the country.

- A 4 year old girl was tossed from car, landing in the street (apparantely the driver considered seatbelts to be voluntary). The driver then handed his 2 year old daughter to a passersby and ran off, barely sparing a glance for the injured 4 year old.

- The driver has an extensive criminal history that goes back more than a dozen years...He has been charged with a crime or issued a traffic citation more than 30 times...In addition to selling cocaine, he has been convicted of obstructing police and three times was convicted of fleeing police, sometimes while his license was suspended or revoked.

- The girls are half-sisters, so that means that two different mothers let this maniac drive with their children in the car. His extensive record of traffic violations should be enough for any mother to keep her child out of that car.
