Excerpts from Incident Report:
Offense Narrative: 12/04/2003 Wood 122
On December 4, 2003 at 7am I received a phone call from Sherman Dispatcher Craig, who advised me of a fatality accident involving a pedestrian. The accident was on FM 1417 in front of Starr Aircraft. Upon arrival at 7:25am I spoke to Lt. Fair and Sgt. Ayers. Sgt. Ayers informed me that a minor accident occurred in the northbound lane and that a victim of the first accident walked south to speak with the other driver and was struck by another vehicle traveling north………
Follow-Up Narrative: 12/04/03 Gibson 066
Excerpts from this Report:
I observed a Ford F150 parked in the grass (northbound) just ahead of the Lincoln and a Jeep Cherokee directly behind the Ford F150. Sgt. Ayers advised that these drivers were witnesses to the accidents. Sgt. Ayers related that he had learned that the Lincoln was stopped in the northbound lane about to turn left into Starr Aircraft when the Kia (also northbound) struck the Lincoln with the front left portion of the Kia at the left rear of the Lincoln. The Kia continued northbound for approximately 50 yards where it came to rest off of the roadway. The Ford F150 and the Jeep Cherokee were also northbound. Behind the Kia stopped off of the roadway in the grass just ahead of the Lincoln. The victim (driver of the Kia) got out of his vehicle and started walking back to the Lincoln when the Oldsmobile drove thru the scene (northbound) in between the Lincoln and Jeep, traveling on the shoulder and struck the victim with the front right portion of the Oldsmobile. Writer observed upon arrival that it was daylight, with patchy fog which may have contributed to this accident.
Follow-Up Narrative: 12/04/03 Robinson 147
Excerpts from this report:
Witness said the man could not have taken more than 3 steps before the car hit him……He then walked to the car that hit the man and asked the lady if she was okay. The lady told him she was not and then asked him what she had hit. He told the lady she had hit a man. She asked if he was alright, and he told her “no.” Witness walked back to where the body was and said a prayer.
Mary was convicted of Criminal Negligent Homicide, and her story is a message to us all.
