Investigators said a 51-year-old woman failed to place her GMC Acadia in park and got out of the SUV, which rolled about 75 yards downhill and struck Arsema shortly before 12:30 p.m. Police have not publicly identified and did not arrest the woman, who two drug recognition experts determined was not impaired.</blockuote>
It's not like punishment changes things, it's a good bet that woman won't ever leave a car out of "park" again. But we have a culture that encourages casual automobile use in a way that every one of us could see making the same mistake.
