When he spotted a mama duck trying to guide her ducklings across a busy California intersection, the man stopped his car at a red light and got out to help them make it to safety.
A memorial near the Stanford Ranch Plaza in Rocklin, Calif., on Tuesday, May 23, 2023, that honors Casey Rivara, a man who died after being struck by a car last Thursday while helping a mama duck and her ducklings cross the street. – His family says it's no surprise that Casey Rivara’s final act was one of compassion.
His good deed done, Rivara was walking back to his car when another vehicle came through the intersection and struck him. He flew through the air and landed in the street. The 41-year-old father of two died at the scene. The driver of the car that hit him, a 17-year-old girl, remained at the scene and is cooperating with investigators, said Rocklin police Capt. Scott Horrillo. Detectives are still interviewing witnesses and reviewing video, he said, but it doesn't appear the teen driver will face charges.
Casey was married to Angel Chow, his high school sweetheart. The inseparable pair met at age 17 when she arrived at his high school as an exchange student from Hong Kong, according to the GoFundMe page. “It’s truly humbling to hear how Casey has positively impacted your lives, and we’re extremely grateful for that,” Chow wrote Monday on Facebook.
