Police have identified the victim of yesterday's deadly collision as Aileen McKay-Dalton, 40, mother of three. One neighbor said her powder blue Vespa was her "pride and joy, after her children, " and her husband, Michael Dalton, said, "She was everything. It's just so horrible, I can't even talk." Both McKay-Dalton and the SUV driver were taken to Woodhill Hospital following the crash, where McKay-Dalton was pronounced dead and the SUV driver was treated for chest pains. Though witnesses say it was the SUV that ran the red light, a Police investigation has yet to officially confirm that. However, they have determined that the SUV is registered with the Treasury Department.
