Some people are under the impression that laws simply don't apply to them. However the laws of physics apply to everyone and everything and two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time.
Sounds as if Mr. Dillow was in an actual crosswalk, but not using it correctly.
It's really not that complicated ..
Crossing against the light will do it every time. You can't fix stupid, especially dead stupid.
