[Quietcars] Morristown Accident, December 20, 2009

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Robert and listers,

    But was this vehicle a hybrid or a conventional automobile. The article 
fails to mention the vehicle type. If it was a hybrid we have more 
amunission for our initiative to insure these vehicles make noise so they 
can be heard by the blind and others.

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.
