The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office says a 2-year-old girl was hit by a car after running into a traffic lane on the beach about 4:30 p.m. Saturday in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.

How is there a traffic lane on the beach? Who did this? How does this happen?

Lol, it's a thing apparently, a "Florida tradition".

Imagine looking at the beach & thinking 'yeah, needs more cars' ...

Yeah but what else are you supposed to do? Walk?

Needs a car minimum, pickup truck preferably.

Oh my lord, the actual fuck is that. That's so depressing to see. Who actually wants to go such a beach? I guess it's a case of being to European to understand.
