In California safety and regulatory headlines from the bay area, a legal suit was filed after a horrid accident whereby a runaway vehicle smacked into a Girl Scout Stand. According to the mainstream media reports, a female has filed a lawsuit against a man named Paul Glad, after his said car smacked into into a gathering of Girl Scouts who were hawking their product in front of a supermarket. The defendent, according to the suit, injured a mother and her daughter after he failed to put his car in park. Talk about a safety violation for crying out loud. He had halted to buy the cookies from them and got out of his car without putting it into the park postiotion. When he realized the vehicle was moving in an attempt to stop it he hit the accelerator.

Holly Rogers age 49 and her 7year old daughter were both injured when the car careened into the Girl Scouts. Rogers suffered injuries including having her leg amputated. Rogers daughter Caroline Schoustra sustained multiple leg fractures. This is one of the most tragic and unfortuinate safety and/or regulatory violations that I can remember in the state of California in a very long time. According to the Seach Gallagher of San Mateo County deputy district attorneys office, they have not filed criminal charges against Glad yet.
