Explain how. Kevin . Kevin they tell the intersection is prone to crashes. The problems is the cars turning in and out oaf the neighborhood are sideswiped by the cross traffic. While the crash is still under investigation, it appears that is exactly what happened here last night. According to eyewitnesses i talked to today a mother and her 9yearold daughter were turning left on to the less busy Canberra Drive when a second car hit them. Paramedics took both drivers to the hospital. The young girl was pronounced dead. She is identified as dashelle brown. Two hours ago, her mother visited the crash site sobbing and said her daughter was a sweet girl who loved dancing and singing and playing the violin. That is my only child. I love my only little baby. I wouldnt wish that on no one. Miss my baby. I just miss her. I wish i could have her back. She is completely silent. No movement. They got her out, no movement. Heart breaking. This afternoon, spilled oil and broken glass and scatter aid
