[Quietcars] Morristown Accident, December 20, 2009

[Robert Wilson]

Hi,

I've been tracking pedestrian accidents and on December 20, there was a report of a blind pedestrian with a seeing eye dog:

"MORRISTOWN -- A Morris County assistant prosecutor was issued a
summons for striking a blind woman as he drove his car out of the
county administration building in Morristown, authorities said.


The woman suffered a leg injury. Her guide dog was not hurt.

Assistant Prosecutor Leslie Wade was issued a summons in the mail
for the Dec. 18 incident, which happened just before 5 p.m., at the
intersection of Schuyler Place and Ann Street, according to a release
from Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi.

The 48-year-old woman was taken to Morristown Memorial Hospital, where she was treated and released. Her name was not given.

She was hit after just stepping off the curb to cross the roadway, according to the prosecutor’s office.

Wade, who is a supervising assistant prosecutor, stopped the county
vehicle and called police to report the accident and request medical
attention. The Morris County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations
Section responded at the request of the prosecutor's office to
photograph and document the scene.. . ."

I called the Morristown police department and the clerk read from the accident report the vehicle make and model: Dodge, Avenger, black. This is a 3,355 pound, sedan that is part of the Morris County car pool.
