## Resource

A 66-year-old man, Martin Dean Harvey, entered a no contest plea for careless driving and unintentionally causing death after fatally striking two pedestrians at a crosswalk in March 2025. The crash occurred when Harvey, turning left on a green light, failed to yield to oncoming traffic — he was looking at oncoming cars instead of checking his path. Despite the pedestrian signals being active and the light green for his direction, his inattention led to tragedy. The district attorney declined to pursue homicide charges, citing insufficient evidence, but the outcome still underscores the deadly consequences of distracted driving — even with clear signals, drivers must always check their surroundings.
