Re: Woman on Crosswalk Dies Being Run Over by a MAN Truck
Why didn't she stop. I would never walk in front of a big truck like that unless I knew that they had seen me. Stupid on both of their parts.

Re: Woman on Crosswalk Dies Being Run Over by a MAN Truck
Why was she walking in front of that truck when it was clearly moving? Maybe she was senile or wanted to die  |

Re: Woman on Crosswalk Dies Being Run Over by a MAN Truck
It looks to me like she stopped walking right in front of the truck - on purpose. I deem this a suicide!   |

Re: Woman on Crosswalk Dies Being Run Over by a MAN Truck
After watching this video a few more times, it becomes apparent it was the woman's fault. Watch the traffic after the squish. It doesn't stop in the other lane at all. The crosswalk is crap. It's just a painted on the road crosswalk apparently without lights or signs. It's there so people don't jaywalk at other places on the road. Watch the woman as she walks. She takes her sweet time and looks at the ground and not at traffic. Anyone crossing a road looks at traffic not just to know where it is but to also make eye contact with drivers. Also people need to keep their eyes open looking at traffic while using a crosswalk. She also walks right into a blind spot in front of the truck. Watch the truck driver. The front of his truck is close to 6 or 7 feet tall from the bottom of his windshield to the road. He is not driving a normal car much closer to the road. If you are shorter than that walking directly in front of a truck that tall, it is impossible for the driver to see you unless you are a bit ahead of the truck in the driver's field of view. I would guess she needed to be at least 4 feet ahead of the truck before the driver would even see the top of her head. We also do not know for sure just from the video if it was a hit and run. Look how long the truck is. The driver felt a bump and perhaps looked in his mirrors, saw the woman laying there once he was far enough ahead for her to be in his mirrors, and pulled over out of view probably in horror. At best, the worst charge for the driver if this happened here in the USA would be involuntary manslaughter. Even that is debatable as a prosecuting attorney would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant knew or should have known his or her conduct was a threat to the lives of others. "I was stopped in traffic. Once traffic began to move again, I looked and saw nothing so I drove forward." Not guilty. The best lesson learned from this is when you are on the road and whether you are using two legs, two wheels, four wheels or more, no one can see you and everyone is out to kill you. |
