Driver asleep at the wheel kills teenager
Tuesday, July 25, 2006
Associated PressHUNTINGTON, N.Y. -- A 15-year-old girl was struck and killed by a driver suffering from sleep apnea who dozed off at the wheel, police said.
Blanca Benitez, 15, and her 17-year-old sister Anna were walking on the sidewalk at about 1 p.m. Sunday when a 2003 Hummer driven by Gerald Taddonio...jumped the curb and struck the girls, authorities said.
The younger teenager was pronounced dead at the scene.
Taddonio, who suffers from sleep apnea, stopped as soon as he realized what happened...unlike in the case of narcolepsy -- in which patients fall asleep with no warning -- Taddonio was weary because sleep apnea prevented him from getting a full night's rest.
Every year tens of thousands of people are involved in accidents because of sleep apnea. Please take it seriously - "the life you save may be your own".
