How Did This Accident Occur?
A lot of people think a pedestrian accident revolves entirely around if the pedestrian was in a crosswalk or not. That’s certainly important, and this could be a situation where a pedestrian crossed the wrong place at the wrong time. However, it’s also important to know what the driver was doing. Were they going too fast? Were they on their phone? Was alcohol a factor? It’s important drivers give themselves the best opportunity possible to avoid accidents. If they don’t, evidence might show their actions were the more dangerous. That’s why it’s best not to jump to conclusions after pedestrian accidents like this. They’re rarely as open-and-shut as people would think.
Do you agree that crosswalks should only be part of the larger conversation around an accident like this? Let me know in the comments why or why not.
