How Did This Accident Occur?

A lot of people just assume these kinds of accidents always come down to who had the right-of-way. That’s an important factor, but it’s also important to consider other factors which can make an accident like this unavoidable. Was unsafe speed a factor? Was alcohol involved? Did a medical condition contribute to the accident? Is this an intersection where signage or traffic signals are messed up?

I see a lot of pedestrian accidents get treated like a low priority. If victims or families ever feel their situation is getting that kind of treatment, it may be worth having another set of eyes look things over so nothing important slips through the cracks.
