No doubt she could have braked and swerved to avoid the ducks. However the next truck or car would have wiped them out I suspect she intended to shield them from harm with her stopped car.
A collie jumped out of the back of a pick up truck on the interstate in front of me. He was daised and standing after he fell. I neatly swerved to avoid him. Unfortunately I looked in the rear view mirror after I passed him.
What was worse was the pick up truck making a u turn and seeing the faces of the children in the truck as they passed me on the other side.
Don't do that to your dog. You might not care, but I do.

Taxi driver stops in middle of the John F. Kennedy Boulevard after midnight night to pick up a fare at the airport here in Houston.
Customer and taxi driver are loading luggage in rear of taxi when they are rear ended.
Both may lose legs.
Didn't sound like the driver who rear ended them was ticketed. He said he did not see them. Tail lights may have been obscured by the luggage and victims.

Ok stopping for baby ducks is one thing. This guy backed up on the main lane of the Hardy toll road to get a better look at a truck fire on the shoulder.
It didn't say if the poor guy who rear ended him was ticketed. That guy is lucky to be alive.

Re: Woman faces life in prison for trying to save baby ducks
I had a friend rear end a stopped driver ( you guess sex and everything else) at night in a rain storm on the other side of an overpass in the middle lane of interstate 10. The driver had the right turn blinker on. The driver wanted traffic to clear so they could make the exit they were sitting at.
My friend received a ticket for failure to control speed. The other driver was not ticketed.
Lady should not have mentioned ducks.
