Mother of dead York County officer urges drivers to obey PA's new move over law
York Dispatch
It's been more than 12 years since Northern Regional Officer David Tome was fatally run down along Route 15 by a distracted driver who was speeding, applying makeup and using her cellphone.
"She was doing everything but paying attention to the road," said Tome's mother, Karen Reever. "All I have is pictures. A piece of my heart is missing also, because of a distracted driver."
Reever and her husband, David Reever — Tome's stepfather — joined with Northern York County Regional Police, PennDOT and the Center for Traffic Safety on Tuesday morning for a news conference about changes to Pennsylvania's "steer clear law," which will soon be replaced with an enhanced version with stiffer fines and penalties.
