The preliminary investigation by the Collision Reconstruction Unit revealed that Galkin was driving at an estimated 100 mph in a 50-mph zone. Despite posted yellow warning signs indicating the presence of pedestrians and an approaching intersection, Galkin’s sedan struck the zero-turn riding lawn mower, while Guerrero-Moreno was crossing Great Seneca Highway’s northbound lanes from west to east.
