One morning as I was driving down the street, I observed another car speeding around the curve. The car never slowed down as it headed toward the traffic light. As I watched the traffic light turn from yellow to red, a young couple started to cross the street. When the woman saw the car, she called out to her husband and he jumped onto the shoulder. The man wasn't hurt, but it was obvious the woman was. I ran to a nearby emergency phone and called the police, but unfortunately by the time the ambulance arrived, the woman was already dead. The driver failed the sobriety test and the police found out later that he had two previous offenses. It was a terrible accident and there should be better ways to get drunk drivers off the road.
