В Луизиане регулировщик погибла под колесами водителя, подозреваемого в состоянии опьянения
В приходе Ливингстон, штат Луизиана, произошла трагедия: регулировщик Кейти Уэллс погибла под колесами автомобиля, которым, по версии следствия, управлял нетрезвый водитель. Инцидент произошел в четверг около 15:30, когда Уэллс помогала детям переходить дорогу на шоссе 16.По данным офиса шерифа прихода Ливингстон, виновником аварии стал 64-летний Даррен Гудо. Ему предъявлены обвинения в непредумышленном убийстве (vehicular homicide) и вождении в нетрезвом виде. Изначально обвинение в вождении в состоянии опьянения было классифицировано как первое нарушение, однако позже его повысили до второго, так как выяснилось, что в 2022 году Гудо уже привлекался за аналогичное правонарушение.Кейти Уэллс проработала в общине Ливингстон более 40 лет и была глубоко уважаемым человеком. Коллеги и жители города, в частности сотрудники начальной школы Седьмого варда, выражают соболезнования, отмечая её преданность делу и доброту. В связи с трагедией местные жители также подняли вопрос о безопасности дорожного движения. Жительница дома напротив школы Кортни Хэтчер заявила, что автомобили часто превышают скорость на данном участке, что создает угрозу для пешеходов, включая детей. Она предложила снизить ограничение скорости до 45 миль в час.На данный момент Даррен Гудо содержится под стражей; сумма внесенного залога составляет 102 тысячи долларов.
