Syosset senior killed by car days before graduation

For Dawn Leslie's loved ones, Wednesday will be a day to mourn rather than a day to celebrate.

Thoughts go out to this young lady and her family at this very difficult time.

I am so sorry. Another bright young life snuffed out. So sad. I am going home to hug my 2 young daughters now.

stupid headline; "...killed by car.." Cars don't kill people kill with cars.

I thought pedestrians had the right of way always...

But what was she doing 8 miles from home, by herself, at 11:15 p.m. crossing a dark street? Why was she alone?

[Logan]

My condolences goes out to her family and friends our family also lost a love one after a night of drinking just this past may 18 she was only 16 years old with a promising life ahead of her. We still dont know exactly what took our precious ashleys life until the toxicology test are completed but we are almost sure that energy drinks and alcohol had a factor in her death. Everyday we struggle to breathe in and out since ashley has been gone but we know with the grace of god we will get throught this our prayers goes out to her family and friends because we know what it is for something so tragic to happen, it just dosent make sense

At this point, your post does not matter......

Too young to die........

[tired of it]

11:00 PM, kinda late to be walking the streets... the driver tested negative for alcohal, what about Leslie...after all at 17 you should know how to cross a street.

Very sad story.

[just me]

I would blame the driver. He's guilty till proven innocent.

her family could not be reached until Monday? was she crossing at an intersection or in the middle of the street? all by herself at that hour? very sad. Good thing the driver at least stopped like he should. If the driver had been a boozer he would have kept on going and they'd never know what happened. I have boozers racing by my house on my side street all night long - one just knocked down the road markers two days ago - what's with this booze epidemic? How do your people socialize in other countries? Is booze the only way to gather and connect with people socially? We've got to get it together in this country - there is no future in this. just heartbreak and ruin.

What a shame that she didb't know how to cross the street. Damn drugs and alcohol. So stupid to try and cross that road.

[Death Race]

Sorry: "didn't"

[Jack]

My condolences to her family and friends for their loss.

I also feel sorry for the driver of that car, it sounds like it was just a horrible accident.
