Kelli Norton, a Girl Guide volunteer and leader testified that she was out on a field trip with a group of young girls walking along Riverside Drive approaching the intersection at Wonderland Road at around 6:50 p.m. on the night Nov. 30, 2021, when things turned deadly.
Norton told the jury, “My eye went to this car that was taking the corner way too fast.”
She continued, “They appeared to leave the road and at that point I panicked and had this awful feeling that something terrible was going to happen…the headlights were coming straight at us, there was nothing I could do.”
Norton said the vehicle crashed into them, “I turned...I scanned back at everyone who was with me and everyone was on the ground.”
Norton told the jury she was frantically racing around looking for someone to help. The first motorist she stopped drove off but eventually others pulled over to assist.
“It was all so overwhelming because I continued to flag down people to help while dealing with the kids,” she said.
