1:19Now PlayingForget about the ducks and geese allegedly disappearing from public parks. In this beleaguered city, residents say the biggest problem by far is that wild-driving Haitian migrants — unfamiliar with US road laws — are turning the streets into combat zones.
And the results can be deadly. The family of Springfield grandma Kathy Heaton experienced this firsthand on Dec. 1 — a day after her 71st birthday — when a Haitian migrant ran her down while she was collecting her garbage cans.
And the driver got off scot-free.
“It was around 5:40 in the morning. The trash had come early that day and we think that’s what probably woke her up,” Kathy’s daughter-in-law, Mandy Heaton, told The Post.
Kathy was struck so violently that both her socks were left behind on the pavement as her body was thrown across the street. Debris littered the roadway, and clumps of hair were found in the car’s cracked windshield, according to the police report.
