Speed wasn't a factor. Stupidity on the pedestrian was. Seriously, how hard is it to cross a street & not get hit. It's not rocket science & yet these people continue to do this every day & win that Darwin award.
Speed was a factor, it is just that the speed limit is too high. Lower the limit and some of these needless deaths can be avoided.
