This is a very tragic story. However the bias envolved with the editor and captain andy hall is appalling. I go through that crosswalk on rollerblades at least 4x a week. Signs are posted for the pedestrians stating that traffic does not stop. Almost 50% of the time when a ped gets to the street edge vehicles will stop ( when they are not suppossed to). 3x i have witnessed collisions because a vehicle has stopped and the car behind him ended up rear ending the stopped vehicle. About 30% of the time the vehicle closest to you will stop but the next lane over another vehicle will go through. This is a VERY dangerous crosswalk in respect to the way MOST vehicles/drivers act when pedestrians are around. Also the trees/shrubs in the center median make it difficult to see the peds in the center until you are right on top of them. So for this Captain Andy Hall to say that 99.9% chance alcohol is the primary factor is completely off base and irresponsible. Good grief i hope the Fresno PD doesnt do ALL their investigations this way. The CITY is partially to blame for the crappy design and unsafe conditions. ( why the heck isnt there a stop light for pedestrians there? Jeez there are 2 stop lights present for SIDE STREET TRAFFIC ON EACH SIDE OF THE CROSSWALK!) The driver is partially responsible because he was over the limit. The father is also partially to blame because he knew cross traffic is not supposed to yield and he should have been more careful. Especially with his kids. If you are in a crosswalk with signs posted stating cross traffic does not stop and a car is coming, GET THE HECK OUT OF THE CROSSWALK! So lets look at the ENTIRE situation before jumping to and printing opinions that are off base.
