Crossing the Road Like a Blind Mule and Losing His Life

I was surprised as to how fast the dashcam car was able to stop. I thought he'd run over him too.

Yeah in hindsight if he’d stayed in the middle lane with the dashcam car he might have lived. I assume the drivers side of their vehicles are on the right, couple that with the black car speeding and the moment he decided not to hesitate and sprint across the last lane his number was up.

In his defense, he made it to the yellow line before he was hit. The driver swerved in the direction he was running. Poor instincts on the part of the driver there. The runner, now he was stupid, but his timing wasn’t off, per say. Had the traffic continued at the same speed and direction it was going he would have barely scraped out a victory. You just can’t always account for human error and knee-jerk reactions though.

step 1, if you are going to stop in the middle of a high speed road, get the hazard blinkers going

No. The "runner" takes ALL the blame.

Running wearing flip flops akin to running wearing high heels. Both are hazardous to one's life

"H-Oh, Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run."
