Pregnant Woman And Two Men Shot In Clinton Hill Drive-By
A Brooklyn woman was fatally struck by a Mr. Softee truck Saturday evening. The Daily News reports that 68-year-old Adelaide Rodriguez had just left her apartment and was walking to an evening mass when the truck hit her at Irving Avenue near Woodbine.
According to goddaughter Maria Rodriguez, "Witnesses [said]...the driver may have swerved to avoid a boy on a skateboard as he turned left." She also told the News that the grandmother "never went anywhere except for church."
The driver, who stayed at the scene, passed a Breathalyzer test and was not charged. He was, however, given "summonses for equipment violations and failing to yield to a pedestrian."

mr. softee harvests and stores the souls of thousands within that cone cap of his! evil bastard
damn. on the way to church and killed by an ice cream truck. that's fucked up.
i guess mr. softee isn't so soft after all
i get that it was an "accident" and that the driver wasn't intoxicated, but i don't get how there are rarely charges in these instances. they killed a pedestrian, bottom line!
Usually they get run over by reindeer.
"they killed a pedestrian, bottom line!"
and if it wasn't intentional and it wasn't due to negligence, what do you charge them with? bad luck?
he should have run over the stupid skateboarder.
That's a sucky way to go! That damn music playing in the background...
