On September 5, 1998, 14-year old Kevin Mackey was riding his bicycle in his quiet suburban neighborhood in Potomac, Maryland. Without warning, he was struck and killed by a postal worker who was driving home after an 11-hour shift that began at 4:00 a.m. The postal worker admitted that she hadn’t slept the day before the accident, and that she was struggling to stay awake behind the wheel.
