RIP Xiaohong Chen – Dyker Heights Mother
Last night near 8:00 pm, a Dodge Ram hit Xiohong Chen on 69th Street and 13th Avenue. She was pinned under the truck. Mrs. Chen was brought to Maimonides and died. (Story here and here)
Xiohong Chen was 51-years-old and the mother of a 14-year-old son. A Go Fund Me was set up to assist the family with bills. (See here)
The 72-year-old driver stayed on the scene. No one was charged with Xiohong’s death. Streetsblog showed the number of “school zone speed camera violations (Here)
Senator Andrew Gounardes wrote the camera legislation, but the legislation does not penalize repeat offenders. While Streetsblog wanted to talk about the driver, let’s talk about the faulty legislation that allows people speeding in school zones to continue to speed in school zones.
Senator Gounardes doesn’t acknowledge that his poor legislation allows repeat offenders to speed:
A teenage boy is without his mother and no one was charged for her death. Prayers for Xiohong’s family.
Hugs,
marlene
