A little over a year ago, 3-year-old Allison Liao from Queens, NY was hit
and killed while walking with her grandmother in a crosswalk, with the right
of way. According to Gothamist, the driver, Ahmad Abu-Zayedeh, ended up ".
..running over Allison's body with his front wheel, and head with his rear
wheel. Allison died at New York Hospital Queens" (see article link below).
The driver has since NOT been charged with a criminal act. He received
summonses for failing to exercise due care and failing to yield to a
pedestrian. Unfortunately, those summonses were recently voided by the New
York State Department of Motor Vehicles. We are petitioning the parties
above to bring justice for Allison Liao and her family and friends by giving
appropriate punishment to the driver of this horrible act - not just a slap
on the wrist.

发帖数: 567 | 3 Driver Kills 3-Year-Old In Queens, DMV Voids His Tickets
[UPDATE BELOW] Just over a year ago, 3-year-old Allison Liao was killed by
an SUV driver while crossing a street with her grandmother in Flushing,
Queens. Liao was holding her grandmothers hand, the two were in the
crosswalk and had the right of way. But that driver, Ahmad Abu-Zayedeha, was
not criminally charged, merely issued summonses for failing to exercise due
care and failing to yield to a pedestrian. And now the Department of Motor
Vehicles has voided those traffic tickets.
Allison's devastated father, Hsi-Pei Liao, shared the news on his Facebook
page and Twitter account yesterday, and his attorney, Steve Vaccaro,
confirmed to us that the tickets have been dropped. "The family is very
angry that this driver has the luxury of being able to look in the mirror
and tell himself the false tabloid version of how this crash happened,"
Vaccaro said. "This is absolutely shocking."
Initial tabloid reports suggested that at around 5:30 p.m. on October 6th,
2013, Allison was crossing Main Street in Flushing with her grandmother when
she broke free and ran unaccompanied into the path of Abu-Zayedeha's
vehicle. But a graphic video obtained by the Liaos' attorney shows Allison
and her grandmother crossing hand-in-hand with the light when Abu-Zayedeha
makes a left-hand turn, first striking the grandmother before running over
Allison's body with his front wheel, and head with his rear wheel. Allison
died at New York Hospital Queens. You can see the collision in the embedded
video below, starting at 1:55:
"Allie was spending the day with her grandmother, and they walked to a
market two-and-a-half blocks from grandmother's house to buy a watermelon,
because Allie wanted a watermelon," Vaccaro said. "The video shows them
walking the last block of Allie's life, hand-in-hand with the grandmother
while the grandmother held the watermelon bag. They make it half way across
Main Street when the driver makes a left turn right into them. He literally
sucks Allie out of her grandmother's hand, knocking the grandmother to
ground."
Allie's grandmother was not seriously injured, but Vaccaro says she has not
recovered from that day. "The grandmother is absolutely devastated and
traumatized. She's disabled from leaving her home, and taking all kinds of
medications to be able to sleep and function minimally. She blames herself
terribly for this, which was in no way her fault but is totally
understandable given circumstances."
At the hearing yesterday, Abu-Zayedeha testified under oath that Allison had
run into the path of his car. "The idea that this driver can adopt the
media version because it makes him feel better, but doesn't have the balls
to look at this video is outrageous," Vaccaro said.
The tickets were thrown out by an administrative law judge, even though
police officers from the Collision Investigation Squad who collected the
surveillance video and issued the summonses—which carry fines of up to $150
each, according to the DMV—argued in support of them. Families are not
invited to these hearings and are not given access to them.
"The thought that the tabloid media version, which is demonstrably false,
would be in essence confirmed by this outrageous decision by an
administrative law judge at the DMV is almost too much to bear for the Liaos
," Vaccaro said. Abu-Zayedeha, who had been drinking before the collision
but was within the legal-drinking limit, said in his sworn testimony that he
had been driving a block-and-half to pick up his wife and his toddler son
from dinner before striking Allison and her grandmother. "He said it was
inconvenient to use stroller to transport his two-year-old son a block and
half, so a three year old was killed," Vaccaro said. | y****e
