The family of 16-year-old Faith Sinclair will appear at a press conference at the district attorney’s office this morning.
They no doubt will seek justice. I hope they get it.
What they will not get is their loved one back.
Sinclair was crossing Chester Pike Sunday night when she was struck and killed by a driver who did not stop. Sinclair died at the scene.
All day yesterday, friends of Faith Sinclair came to the site at Chester Pike and Laurel Road. They carried cards and stuffed animals and placed them at the scene. To a person, they all spoke glowingly of the Ridley High student, described as a phenomenal person, someone who always “put others before herself.”
The world could use a lot more people like Faith Sinclair. And a lot fewer of the kind who could strike someone and then simply drive away, leaving so many lives in tatters.
Police this morning continue their search for the dark-colored Mercedes they believe struck and killed Faith. Pieces of the car, including a side mirror and front grill, were recovered at the scene.
It’s hard to imagine the driver was unaware that they had struck someone, or at least something.
In the meantime, Faith Sinclair’s family will simply wait as they prepare to bury their loved one.
They will seek justice. I’m not sure they can get it. I have no doubt someone will be arrested. In these kinds of cases, they almost always are.
But it won’t bring back Faith Sinclair. And that’s the justice all of us would like to see.
