According to the New York Post, Dorothy Brun is accused of running a red light and killing the children. She suffers from multiple sclerosis and suffers from seizures.
Police stripped her of her license yesterday, according to the Post, but she has not been charged in the case. She said she had no knowledge of what happened prior to the accident.
“We believe that (Bruns) had a seizure . . . It’s a real tragedy.” said Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez to the Post. An investigation is underway to determine if she should have been driving.
Heavy reports that both Miles and Lew were returning from a church event when they were struck. Witnesses said Brun showed little emotion after the accident. The vehicle she was driving has been cited 12 times for traffic violations. The citations were issued to the vehicle and not Brun. It is not known if she was driving the vehicle when it was cited.
