Car strikes, kills Painted Post woman

By The Leader Staff Corning Leader Posted Nov 15, 2010 @ 02:05 AM

Print Comment Campbell, N.Y. —

A Painted Post woman was killed when she was struck by a car Saturday.

Painted Post State Troopers said Holly Hain, 46, of Painted Post, was killed at approximately 10:15 p.m. Saturday on the Curtis-Cooper Road.

Troopers said Hain had been allegedly traveling south on the Curtis-Cooper Road when she pulled over to the west shoulder and parked her car in an attempt to help a calf that was wandering along the road.

Leah Jamison, 17, of Campbell was allegedly traveling north on Curtis-Cooper Road and was distracted by Hain’s vehicle’s headlights on the west shoulder.

Jamison allegedly struck Hain and the calf in the roadway as she attempted to steer her vehicle to the east shoulder of the road.

Troopers said no alcohol or personal driver distractions such as a cell phone were involved.

Jamison was issued a citation for operating a vehicle outside the restrictions of her class DJ license.

No criminal charges are anticipated at this time.

The Campbell Volunteer Fire Department assisted at the scene.

Hain was a physical education teacher and coach in the Campbell-Savona school district.

A letter was posted on the district’s Web site Sunday informing students and parents of Hain’s death.

The letter, written by Campbell-Savona Superintendent Kathy Hagenbuch, said the district has implemented its crisis response plan to help students and staff to cope with the loss.

Hagenbuch said counselors will be at both the elementary and middle/high school. She said the school will also send a handout home with students on helping parents deal with their children’s grief. Copyright 2010 The Corning Leader. Some rights reserved

Definitely Toss: No Self-Selection
While arguably misguided, the woman who stopped wasn't directly responsible for her own death. And people getting struck by cars is also way too common. Thanks just the same, Jane.
