People need to stop running red traffic signals. Most probably the the cause of this accident or texting.
Actually- that was NOT case at all with this collision! The person ran directly out into oncoming traffic! The teens in the car ABSOLUTELY could NOT avoid this man at all!!! That’s a factual statement!
No disrespect to our sheriff department from water I have several good friends, but we need more regulation and more assertive action for these law breakers. Sped and and lack of following signs are a hide problem.
A couple years ago my daughter was hit by a car while on the pedestrian crossing in front of her school.
The report was 50 -50 at fault.
Makes you wonder since when a car and a Child in a school crossing has no more right away in California. Either the sheriff was too noticebto the motorist or there was no desire to spend any time getting the facts. My kid was taken to Henry Mayo and that was the end of her soccer season and further involvement in sports. Shame is that I have to hire a lawyer to deal with the hospital bills. My point is that until pedestrian crossing and the law is being followed, not much would change.
