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.
