Commentary:
The accidents that involve pedestrians are hard situations to say the least. Many people have the notion in their heads that the pedestrian always has the right of way, which is not only bad information, its dangerous to tell people. Unless this person was in the shoulder of the road, in a designated bike or pedestrian lane, on a sidewalk, or in a parking lot, there may not be much that can be done, but if he was standing in any of the places I mentioned above, the driver could be at fault. I’d have to take a closer look to really understand.
