I hope we don't get the usual victim bashing which seems prevalent on this forum. Trying to blame her for crossing the road.

So are you suggesting that the driver was at fault because the women stepped out in front of his vehicle?

As usual the article has not much information.

If the driver wasn't speeding and the lights of his vehicle worked then it seems to be likely that the woman made a fatal mistake.

If on the other hand the driver was too fast and/or the lights of his vehicle didn't work then it is likely he is, at least in part, responsible.

Summary: We don't know who is to blame and we shouldn't blame anybody without proper information.

I agree and that is what I meant. Too many people make assumptions or are just plain vicious in their commentary
