Details revealed in report of Route 228 pedestrian-vehicle crash
Details surrounding the November pedestrian-vehicle crash on Route 228 near Mars Area Middle School were revealed in a report by Adams Township police obtained Tuesday by the Butler Eagle.
Officials said Monday that Sue Haggerty, district judge for the Saxonburg area, was behind the wheel the night of Nov. 29 when Paige Lauten, an eighth-grade student at Mars Area Middle School, crossed the road and was hit.
Though the report redacted all names associated with the incident, Richard Goldinger, Butler County district attorney, in a Monday phone interview said that neither Haggerty or Paige were at fault.
“There’s no criminal investigation because there’s no criminal charges filed,” he said. “It’s what we call a tragic accident.”
