My hope is that authorities have given this accident the attention it needs. I see too many situations where people assume the pedestrian must have done something wrong unless they were in a crosswalk. The reality is these accidents can be just as complex as a serious car wreck. As such, they demand thorough investigations to gather and preserve evidence. Did authorities do that here?
