Hopefully the incident at least gets proper attention from investigators. Pedestrian accidents unfortunately tend to slip through the cracks. Folks often think if the victim wasn’t in a crosswalk, there’s just nothing to discuss. But there can always be extenuating circumstances worth considering, and there may be loved ones out there in need of answers.
