A preliminary analysis of skid marks and calculations showed that Silvestre's vehicle, a Honda Accord sedan, was traveling at least 68 miles an hour as it barreled eastbound on a curving section of Sunset Boulevard, Padilla said. Padilla noted that the winding section of Sunset Boulevard west of Alvarado was the scene of a deadly accident last year. "She was just not able to make that curve," he said of Silvestre.
The car clipped a fire hydrant in front of a fire station and knocked down a light pole before it slammed against the Lucy's laundry building at the southeast corner of Sunset Boulevard and Mohawk Street. Some of the comments to a previous story on the accident took issue with what looks like a shot glass placed amid the flowers and candles in a memorial created for Silvestre.
Padilla said he was awaiting toxicology reports to determine if alcohol was involved.
I knew she was travelling at that speed. I wouldn't be surprised if alcohol were involved.
ReplyDeleteSo what if you are right anonymous? You'll get to say I told you so? What difference would that make? None.
ReplyDeleteI'm not religious but I do believe there is wisdom in the statement, "judge not lest you be judged".
May the young woman who was the passenger recover fully and live a long, full and happy life.
