A driver fatally struck her as she walked across the last lane in a nearly ten-lane highway – GA-10, or Memorial Drive. The investigators and police report ruled it an accident, saying Alexandria was at fault because she didn’t have the crosswalk light.
Her mother, Kizzy Stewart, questioned if the walk light was even working, and wondered why a toxicology report included a blood alcohol level test on her daughter’s body, while police didn’t administer a field sobriety test for the driver, who walked away without charges.
After learning how many other people had been hit by drivers, Kizzy felt less alone and was stirred to advocate for pedestrian safety, including legally-required sobriety tests, lanes and speed limits reduced, better illumination, and adequate sidewalks. https://www.letspropelatl.org/alexandria_miller_crash_story
