“Everyone knows that compensation will never replace a loved one, but what a civil case can do is answer the many questions families have after a fatal accident – especially when authorities have taken no further action, leaving survivors feeling they have nowhere else to turn for help.
“Now that the civil proceedings have ended, I can only offer my condolences to Robyn’s family and my sincere best wishes for the future.”
When she passed away, a 30-foot-tall mural of Robyn was also unveiled in her honor, serving as a reminder to motorists to slow down.
