How he possibly couldn't see her? I feel so sorry for this lady and all the injuries she got! I hope she sues him and get at least some cash!

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. - A rookie police officer was suspended for seven days for running over a woman sunbathing on a north Florida beach. An internal affairs investigation released Wednesday by the Jacksonville Beach Police Department concluded that Officer Lewis Keller was negligent and at fault for the May 1 accident. Keller was making a U-turn in his sport utility vehicle when he rolled over 41-year-old Anne Marie Giffin of Jacksonville. Investigators said Keller and another man lifted the SUV off Giffin while other people pulled her out. Giffin was treated for a broken pelvis and ribs, along with head and spinal injuries. |

I believe that if your driving on the beach with a large SUV you have to be very careful of where you are in relation to others on the beach. If you need to turn around make sure that the area your turning around is clear of all sun bathers. IF you have to get out to make sure then get out of the vehicle and make sure. It is hard to see someone laying down at times while your in any vehicle. With a SUV and the fact that your a officer you have to make double sure. I think she will get a nice settlement.
