How Did This Accident Occur?
I certainly don’t have more information than any of the news sites I’ve seen reporting on this. I will say that when people read about a pedestrian incident, their immediate assumption is either that the pedestrian wasn’t in a crosswalk or that a driver ran a light. Those are common and worth considering, but there are always other possibilities to consider. I’ve seen everything from alcohol to medical conditions to malfunctioning signals to vehicle defects cause pedestrian accidents. It’s important the victim’s loved ones know all of these possibilities are being carefully considered.
