Vehicles travel on streets. I'm usually pretty careful when walking there.

What kind of idiot gets hit in a crosswa----Oops, nevermind.
Also, how in the WORLD does a hoodie effect ones vision? Unless the driver pulled the hood OVER his face

From what I read she is in no way at fault for what happened.

I live in PA but a fellow employee told me that they have something called an umbrella policy? It's suppose to protect your assets in this type of scenario. Sadly I haven't looked into it more maybe I will start because nobody plans on getting in an accident just like nobody plans on dying.

If it's anything like the story you read about the deceased feeder driver, then odds are you're wrong again

I believe DIAD V has a camera with no known purpose.

I'm not disputing the legitimacy of the lady's lawsuit but we all no how ass backwards our "justice" system is and that many lawsuits are BS.The cameras would be used to combat the hell bound snakes that are otherwise known as attorneys that pursue such cases.

Happened in my center. Yes it was 5 o clock and he was wearing a hoodie. It was also snowing and raining which limited his visibility. She didn't have to cut out but the fire dept had to lift the car with the balloon lifts they use. It sucks all around but really haven't heard much about it since it happened until the news brought it back up.

How long till smart drivers use one of their own?
GoPro clipped to cupholder every day. Wide enough to see sidewalk to sidewalk. Slightly distorted at extremes but one day I'm sure it will come in handy.
Another note, I don't feel this was a "scumbag" style scam. If the driver was looking back to the forward direction, scanning before proceeding, this could have been avoided.
This is why I will NEVER EVER leave the yard without a properly functioning horn.
EVER.

If this happened, the women's family would sue for even more.

I do remember the video of this accident. Yes. She got hit by us. But, there was a line of cars going along too. Was she in the crosswalk when it was closed? Maybe go brown can give more info. It is a shame all around

Unfortunately I'm not 100 percent sure on that. I know the driver was turning and it happened on the corner but I don't know if he got to close or she got to close. Sorry I'll try to find out that part.

I'm sorry you actually posted that.
That's kind of us to discuss that. It's always about money at brown.
BS.
They wouldn't get more they would get less if anything.
