Yeva Smilianska trial day 2: Emotional witnesses remember events leading to fatal crash.
During Yeva Smilianska's trial in Boulder County, several witnesses provided emotional testimonies about the afternoon they witnessed Smilianska veer off Highway 119 and fatally strike 17-year-old cyclist Magnus White. The defense is not disputing that Smilianska hit the teen but argues she did not drive recklessly, the charge she faces. The trial began with testimony from witnesses who saw the incident unfold, including Clifford Tuttle, Abigail Smith, Trinity Wilbourn, Rachel Blaydes, Monica Bonney, Preet Cooper, as well as law enforcement officials like Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn and CSP troopers Heidi Jewett and Sean McCall testifying about the crash investigation. Testimonies painted a picture of the tragic events leading to White's death and the aftermath of the collision, with emotions running high among witnesses and contrasting reactions observed in Smilianska. The trial is set to continue the following day, with the prosecution planning to delve deeper into the details of the crash through crash reconstruction. Additionally, there is mention of possible upcoming legislative actions related to improving cyclist safety on roads.
