It's been a month since a motorist backed out of driveway on Spring Street in Burlington and killed 22-month-old Cierra Parent.
Investigators say the little girl ran into a blind spot behind the car driven by 25-year-old Sidney Messick.
Police say it does not appear Messick was negligent or criminally responsible for the little girl's death even though his license was under suspension.
Nevertheless, the police report has been sent to the county prosecutor to determine whether Messick will face any charges.
... One of the potential penalties is a little known law that prohibits backing up onto highways and most roads even from your own driveway. Violators of the so-called "limitations in backing law" can get a 194-dollar ticket. But police say they only write those tickets to reckless drivers.
