Woman on 1st Walk After Motorcycle Crash Is Killed by Car
http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/Sally-Ann-Okuly-Woman-on-First-Walk-After-Motorcycle-Crash-is-Struck-Killed-by-Car-233111451.htmlSally Ann Okuly survived cancer. And she survived a motorcycle crash six months ago, feeling well enough to leave the house last weekend for the first time in half a year.
But her determination was no match for a car Sunday morning. Okuly was struck by a car and killed as she left her Woodbridge, Va. home for the first time, to cross the street to her favorite convenience store and buy a newspaper and cup of coffee.
Police say a car driven by Amanda Styles-Mays, 24, crashed into Okuly as she crossed at Opitz Boulevard and Montgomery Avenue. Okuly was crossing with the light and was in the crosswalk.
Styles-Mays has been charged with failure to yield to a pedestrian and reckless driving.
