NY Daily News: Ruthie Ann Miles Injured, Daughter Killed By Driver in Brooklyn

This is horrific; I remember seeing Ruthie Ann Miles posting excitedly on social media about her second pregnancy just weeks ago, and happy photos of the family. Such an immeasurable tragedy; praying for her recovery, though I cannot imagine what it must be like to lose a child at the same time (or ever).

NY Daily News: Ruthie Ann Miles Injured, Daughter Killed By Driver in Brooklyn

Years ago I was managing the merch for a couple months at Ave Q at New World Stages and she was a swing at the time. She went out of her way to make me feel welcome, know me, invite me out with the cast and crew, etc. One of the sweetest, most loving, nurturing, and giving people I've ever met. This is truly devastating and my heart shatters for her. So much love to her and her husband and family.

What an absolutly horrific article to read.   I hope Ruthie and her unborn child recover easily so she and her husband can begin to heal emotionally..   And the other family and witnesses as well.

I know there is nothing we can do to ease her grief at a time like this, but is there something symbolic we could do as a BWW community to show our love and sympathies to her and the other family who also lost a child? I don’t know what it would be: donation to a charity, flowers, a card somehow digitally signed by all of us. I don’t know. This is just so sad.

bk said: "In what universe can a driver get four tickets for running red lights, in addition to four other tickets and still have their license?"

After the initial shock and horror, this was my first question. The article also has something about the driver maybe having a seizure disorder, which I also thought meant restrictions on a license?

I’m echoing everyone here, but I can’t even fathom Ruthie’s pain. My heart broke just reading the article. Not just for her but for the other woman involved as well. Just so senseless and heartbreaking... I hope Ruthie and her unborn baby are okay. Sending good thoughts and prayers

Very devastating and probably the absolute worst nightmare of any parent NY Daily News: Ruthie Ann Miles Injured, Daughter Killed By Driver in Brooklyn. Really shocking. 

I can't tell if so many people here are offering prayers because they really mean it or because it's a polite thing to say.


Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

I can't begin to address how tragic this is, so I won't try...

Another (obviously WAY less significant) outcome of this is that it's highly unlikely that she will return to Lady Thiang in London as originally planned, which is a shame for all involved, as UK audiences would have been in for a real treat. 

Again, I'm not claiming that this is a priority - it's just something that occurred to me after about an hour of thinking about all the other, far more terrible things about this tragic incident - all of which have already been expressed in this thread.
