  1. This report seems very irresponsible. The people you interviewed talked about drivers often speeding down the road and make it seem like that is what the driver of the blue SUV was doing. Did you interview anyone who actually witnessed the accident? You don’t know if the driver was speeding or distracted. You don’t know if the child just ran out into the road. Accidents happen. Why not wait until you have the facts before airing something that implies the driver is guilty of something.
