How Did This Accident Occur?
Pedestrians aren’t generally supposed to be on the interstate, so accidents like this are often the result of someone trying to cross a road they shouldn’t try to cross. However, that’s just one possible explanation. There are possible extenuating circumstances where a pedestrian might be hit on the interstate for reasons they can’t entirely control. Was there some kind of medical emergency? Were they near a broken-down vehicle? Were they attempting to wave down traffic? Was alcohol a factor? Likely or not, it’s important to consider these things before jumping to conclusions. It might surprise folks how often I’ve seen people blame someone for something they couldn’t avoid.
