Driver in the Nick O'Leary crash offers her side of the story...........

Looks like O'Leary should take half the credit for the crash by reading what the insurance companies did.....

I asked her to email me instead, because the matter wasn't really suited for twitter. Here is her initial email, unedited, appears below. Remember, these statements are opinions of one party involved, and are not necessarily factual.

The kid on the bus was my neighbor and was going to his new apartment so I gave him my FSU card so that he wouldn't have to pay to ride. He put his bike on the front rack and tried to use the card while my boyfriend, daughter and I were in the car waiting (to see if it would work) once we realized he was getting off I proceeded to make the turn (after looking both ways, of course). The video doesn't show my boyfriends arm out the window with a dollar to give to our neighbor so he could pay; so instead of turning fast to drive, I was turning slowly in order to stop in front of the bus. Now, on this road in Tallahassee (Mission road) there's a curve and a small hill. I believe that when I looked left, mr. O' Leary was coming up that hill which is why he wasn't seen. He was speeding because if you look closely at the video you can see him try to apply his front brakes which causes the back wheel to rise a little. If he were to be going the posted speed limit, 30 mph, I believe the accident could have been avoided. I wasn't the only one who didn't see him coming, the bus driver even admits that "he came out of nowhere". Although I was cited, it was simply because he had the right of way because I was not fully established in the lane going east. But the insurance company stated that just because a person is cited doesn't mean that they are at fault. Both our insurances covered the costs of the accident and my insurance is currently in the process of getting a percentage of my deductible back from mr. O' leary's insurance company. I am not and have never been an unsafe driver. That is my first accident and with my family being in the car, the last thing I would be is reckless. It is nothing short of a miracle that he survived.

I am in no way trying to play the blame game and I would have been traumatized if mr. O' Leary suffered extensive injuries but I can see where we are both at fault. I should have taken extra caution and he should not have been speeding. I learned from this accident and I'm sure that he has to

==============================

It was very dangerous for her to pull her car into the road just so her lazy-ass boyfriend didn't have to get out of the freaking car to give the kid a dollar for bus fare. She's a dumbass for attempting the maneuver, and O'Leary's a dumbass for driving way too fast for the road, thus being unable to avoid the dumbass situation that developed. They're all very fortunate their IDIOTIC driving did not result in the death or serious injury of an innocent kid, who was nearly struck by debris from the crash. 

Oh, and this all started because she gave her FSU ID to the kid rather than A FREAKING DOLLAR because she's a CHEAPASS who would rather let taxpayers foot the bill for the kid's bus fare. WELCOME TO NOLEVILLE.
