Commentary:
If the news article turns out to be accurate, and the pedestrian was not in a crosswalk at the time of the accident, then there may not be much that can be done, but there is exceptions to every rule. If the driver had ample time to take evasive action, yet failed to, right-of-way or not the driver could be liable. Additionally, if the offending vehicle was turning off a stop, yet failed to ensure the path he was about to drive into was clear, they could also be liable for the accident. It all depends on how the facts fall into place.
