I was initially going to toss this as too common but the article quotes the victims sister as saying she wanted to prove that “she could run fast in heels”. Giving that attitude I'm willing to accept this. For the other mods: https://www.statesman.com/news/20180906/19-year-old-struck-by-hit-and-run-driver-on-aug-18-dies-austin-police-say

If she wanted to prove she could run fast in heels, MANY other areas would have been MUCH safer! Thanks!
