Heading: Testimony of Danielle Alejandro

Text: According to her testimony, Danielle Alejandro [11] was tailgatingas close as one-half of a car lengthbehind Souder's vehicle when Klink's vehicle crossed the median strip and collided with Souder, but she was able to maintain control of her vehicle and avoid the collision. Alejandro testified that it was pouring rain leading up to and at the time of the accident and that Souder's vehicle was moving so slowly that she attempted to pass it several times but that it was pouring so hard that I was afraid to. She recalled water running on the roadway. On cross-examination, however, she also indicated that she did not see any water coming from the driveway or the grassy area along the northbound lane. In response to the confusion concerning Alejandro's testimony regarding water flow, the Appellants elicited the following testimony on redirect: Q: What you do recall, though, is that it was raining, and it had been raining hard since the time you got onto [the P&amacr;hoa Bypass]? A: Yes. Q: And water was running on the roadway on both sides of the roadway at the accident scene? A: I don't remember if it was running [on] both side[s], but I know Q: Water was running on the roadway? A: Yes.
