People often overlook pedestrian accidents like this because they assume everything is open-and-shut. The fact of the matter is someone lost their life, and their loved ones deserve answers. I can only hope authorities are taking steps to get those answers rather than brushing off this situation as a low priority and leaving the victim’s family in the dark.
