I 100% agree we need improvements for pedestrian traffic, but that doesn't necessarily refute the point of my comment which was that we will continue to have jaywalkers even with accommodations close by, and it's not always the fault of the driver when they are hit.

You can't assume this is on the driver just because "they're the ones with the thousand pound vehicle." There are reaction times and physics to take into consideration and plenty of scenarios where a driver simply does not have the time to stop before hitting a pedestrian that carelessly walks across moving traffic.

I'm not blaming the pedestrian in this case, just saying that we don't have enough info to put all the blame on the driver, which could have been out of their control and now be dealing with a tramatic experience.

This needed mentioned. Too many people exclusively blaming our terrible drivers, which we certainly have, but we also have way too many pedestrians who would prefer to jaywalk than to take a cross walk.

I see it just about every day around the Walmart on Glenstone & Bennett, people jaywalking across rush hour traffic instead of using the cross walk 100 feet down the road.
