People often see pedestrian accidents and just assume that everything is open-and-shut. But without knowing specifics—where the person was, what they were doing, how visible were they, did other drivers avoid them, was there some kind of emergency, etc.—no one should be drawing any conclusions. At the end of the day, it's up to the evidence to tell the story.
