Driver charged in fatal crash

I don’t know if it would make a difference but I plan on calling the Cranston PD this am

First let me extend my deepest sympathies to the O’Toole family.  One night late last week my daughter was driving home from school on Scituate Ave when a black truck came speeding up behind her riding her bumper.  The driver proceeded to pass her so closely that he ran her into the breakdown lane and off the road. My daughter caught up to the truck and realized that she knew the truck and the person driving it (husband of co-worker) Guess who the black truck belonged to? Mr. David Hazard.  My daughter went to the Scituate Police station to report the incident and when she told the officers what had happened they told her that she needed to go to Cranston PD. Evidently where he drove her off the road was Cranston not Scituate. Maybe if they had just taken the time to get a description of the vehicle and the person driving it they could have alerted Cranston PD or at least run his name in the system.  Sent a car to his house. Maybe if someone had bothered to listen to a hysterical teenager they might have found out that this person has a rap sheet as long as my arm.  Just maybe Mrs. O’Toole would still be here today. By the grace of god he didn’t kill my daughter that night, but now he has left a family without a mother, wife, sister or daughter.  This should be a wake-up call to all police stations that when someone comes into a police station to report a dangerous driver that they should be alittle more proactive instead of passing the buck.  Because maybe next time it might be one of their wives or children who won’t make it home from work or school.

This is just a horrible story, Eight
priors and you are still driving !!
you are the bottom of the barrel, get
ready for the ACI. Although the first
writer stated the way it should be, you
know that will never happen. REHAB !!!!
give the good people a break. There are
so many ways to deal with this, but I
would end uo in jail. To the family, I
really wish the best for you at this
time even as you have to endure your
loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with the o’Toole Family during this difficult time. I also have NO remorse for what ever happens to this man.
My son goes to school with one of Mrs.O’Toole’s children and he and a friend were very upset that their friend has to go thru this. It has bother them very much. When you think about this kind of tragedy it goes way beyond just the Family, altho they have the brunt of the pain and heartache, this has affected the whole community, the children her kids hang out with, the family friends, and just aquaintaces through school functions that have gotten to know the family.
This man has had so many suspended licenses ( search “RI Defendant search”) why did he have a license to begin with (or did he)? Why was it not suspended permanently!! I know it may not have stopped him from driving but who knows maybe it would have. I get so angry when people drink and drive and then when they take a life it infuriates me!!! I wish our government would govern with an eye for eye a tooth for a tooth sometimes. I hope this guy rots in jail!!!  To the children of Mrs. O’Toole…..  remember your mom will always be at your side.
Mr. O’Toole I can only imagine the pain and emptiness you feel. Hopefully time will heal your pain and you will remember all the good times the 2 of you have had. Its those memories that will make you all smile again.
