Stallworths Accident Would of Happen Anyways
Many people are blaming Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth’s drinking and marijuana use as the main culprits for the accident that resulted in a man being killed. The fact of the matter is that even if he was sober the accident would have still happened.
Working in the transportation industry I have seen similar cases like this time and time again. The reason is that my employer has to give us refersher courses on safety, since I work for a bus company.
People in a hurry do not pay attention to their surroundings, which gets children and adults killed.
All of us in the bus transportation industry are warned to watch out for kids darting in between cars to get to their bus, because you cannot see them.
Not having seent the video as it is sealed, just hearing the report that the victim was jay walking to catch a bus, which leads me to believe he was running in between cars to catch it.
Since he was running in between the cars even if Stallworth would of been sober he still would of hit the person.
Now, do not get me wrong I am not making any excuses for Stallworth as there is no reason to drink and drive the amount of money National Football League players make.
In the end as studies have shown people are usually distracted while driving, which means that this horrible incident would of happen any which ways.
