You also have to wonder,(even though they may be jaywalking), how drivers do NOT see the pedestrian they are about to hit. I am sure there are some circumstances where the pedestrian steps out and you have no time to react (which might be this case, have not heard), but plenty are hit right in the middle of the road. Are drivers not paying attention at all? I have seen people jaywalking while I was driving, but I slow up or change lanes instead of killing them.

You really have to wonder why pedestrians are not crossing at a marked cross walk and if not there, why are they not waiting for traffic to clear. Just because you see a vehicle 100 yards away does not mean that traffic if clear, you have no idea of the distance this vehicle is covering. Has anyone thought that maybe these pedestrians are committing suicide???
