Sally Sue was traveling west on Braddock Road when she was suddenly struck by an APS delivery truck. The driver Alex Ashton had been delivering packages in the West Springfield neighborhood just off Braddock Road. Alex lives close by and decided to head home to pick up his clothes and drop them off at the cleaners. Alex picked up his clothes and swung by his favorite cleaners, 9 to 5 Cleaners. He also picked up some clothes. He put them in the front seat of his work truck. He looked at his watch and realized he'd taken more time than he expected. He hopped back on the road headed to his next delivery. Just as he approached the light at Braddock Road, the light turned yellow. He thought he had enough time so he went through the light. He struck Sally Sue in the intersection. Alex was so upset at the scene. His next delivery was just across the street. Why didn't he wait for the light to change?
