My wife was helping our daughter load her two toddlers into the car. Angie, who was my wife's little shadow, was apparently let out by the 2 and a half year old. Our daughters car was parked directly in front of our house, on street parking with ample lighting.

The operator of the SUV was driving too fast on the wrong side of the street. The vehicle barely missed our daughter, brushed against my wife and hit the dog who was standing behind her.

Had the SUV been on the correct side of the street, Angelica would still be with us.
