Commentary:
The news said that the victim was “thrown into the road after the accident, which seems to imply he wasn’t in the road to begin with. If the victim was not in the road, I’m wondering what the car that hit him was doing off the road too. If the car hopped the curb when it hit the victim, then the driver of the car is probably going to be on the hook for this accident, unless the news has omitted some kind of crucial detail.
