“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 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?
