This tragedy could have been easily avoided, had "Rasguan" bothered to use the dam crosswalk ..
One simple rule. Cross at a crosswalk with the light to allow you.
Thanks for sharing.
Acting out as a social reject won't magically change the the reality that pedestrians are routinely struck in the roadway, but we never hear of them getting struck on the sidewalk with the same regularity.
Thanks for arguing the irrelevant.
