Ann Sweet
National Survivor Spokesperson

Ann Sweet is the national survivor spokesperson for the National Campaign to Stop Red Light Running. As a victim advocate, she works to save lives, reduce red light running, and comfort those who have experienced the tragedy of red light running. Ann lives in Warsaw, Indiana and works throughout the country to ensure that other families do not experience the same tragedy hers did.

Ann became involved in the red light running issue after her 21 year old daughter Shawnee was killed by a red light runner on October 27, 1997 as she crossed U.S. 30 near Warsaw. The driver was in a semi hauling a loaded flatbed trailer. She was killed instantly.

Ann works in Indiana and other states for the passage of legislation that will allow the use of red light cameras as one important part of an overall traffic safety campaign and speaks to various groups about her story, the red light running problem and effective solutions.
