The car that struck Bailey O. Leonard Fritzmeier, 23, of 1220 Curtis Corner Road, was driven by patrol Officer Leonel A. Pichs, 29, of Providence, according to the police. Pichs has not been charged, and a reconstruction of the accident indicates that speed was not a factor, according to Maj. Paul Fitzgerald, commander of the Providence police uniformed division. It was rainy and foggy when Fritzmeier was struck around 2 a.m. near 422 Atwells Ave., according to a police report. Fritzmeier suffered a head injury and died at 10:21 last night at Rhode Island Hospital, according to the police. -- Journal staff writer Gregory Smith Posted by Jack Perry CommentsHaving been an old friend of the Leonard family, I feel great sadness for their loss of Bailey. Her Aunt Emily was my dearest friend in highschool. I cannot imagine the pain and anguish the family is experiencing right now. She was so young and full of life. Her parents and family must be extemely proud of her warm heart, accomplishments and intelligence. Posted by: Elizabeth Barksdale at December 29, 2005 11:24 AM |
