“No words can express how sad this is, and there’s nothing that will make that family feel better,” said Joe Ryan, who lives in Volusia County.

“I don’t think driving on the beach should be done away with. I think it is a good thing, but maybe there should be a driving lane that is fenced off and a separate walking path,” Ryan said.

Fuck off Ryan, car belong on the road, not beach.

The US sounds like such a hell hole with people like Ryan in it.

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office says a 2-year-old girl was hit by a car after running into a traffic lane on the beach about 4:30 p.m. Saturday in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.

How is there a traffic lane on the beach? Who did this? How does this happen?

Lol, it's a thing apparently, a "Florida tradition".

Imagine looking at the beach & thinking 'yeah, needs more cars' ...

Oh my lord, the actual fuck is that. That's so depressing to see. Who actually wants to go such a beach? I guess it's a case of being to European to understand.

Yeah but what else are you supposed to do? Walk?

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 4 points 5 days ago

And just carry all the guns & gators??

Needs a car minimum, pickup truck preferably.

We should have car lanes on the beach!

so we should have bike lanes on the road?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

What if we pave the whole tging and fence it off, so people are safe.
