Again a pedestrian out of the crosswalk and worse at dark…
Pedestrians need to follow safety rules just as much as cars. Drivers are not anticipating a person running, walking out in front of them when they are driving.
Sad for all involved.
When you are a pedestrian cross at a crosswalk.
Darwin's law does not stop when it gets dark –
My heart goes out to the poor driver who's life are now ruined because of the stupidity of the reckless pedestrian.
