How Did This Accident Occur?
The first thought most will have is this was someone trying to cross a road they shouldn’t have. That’s common, but it’s not the only reason something like this can happen. For example, there may have been some kind of emergency, or maybe the victim was trying to flag down a vehicle. Maybe they thought they were safely on the shoulder. Without further specifics, the last thing anyone should do is jump to conclusions.
Unfortunately, I often see pedestrian accidents treated as a low priority. Hopefully this incident is in good, professional hands that will make sure the family gets the full story.
