All too often we are unfortunately treated to observe the lethal consequences of being stupid in a no stupid zone.
Jaywalkers never seem to do well in these frail human Vs. reenforced steel beast vehicle encounters. People need to take some personal responsibility for their own safety, jaywalking is simply irresponsible. Unfortunately those involved learn this valuable lesson rather late in life or early in death.
This unfortunate situation could have been easily avoided, had this woman used the dam crosswalk..
You can't fix stupid.
