Victim:
Olivia McBurney was a recent graduate of Millbrook High School. She was 19 years old.

Witnesses said Olivia was wearing earphones and walked into the side of the tow truck. While it’s obviously not possible to say exactly what happened, it appears that she just lost focus on the traffic and didn’t realize the truck was there.
Another thing that was mentioned was that McBurney had some kind of mental disability. It is not totally clear whether that played a role in this accident.
