It's too early to really say what happened here. All I can hope for is a proper, unbiased investigation into the facts. I too often find that authorities treat accidents involving pedestrians as a low priority. This can result in critical details slipping through the cracks. At the very least, the victim's loved ones deserve to know there will be answers about what went wrong. Jumping to conclusions or moving on without a complete picture isn't going to do anyone any good.
