This is the third pedestrian vs vehicle on a major highway in the last 2 months, the first 2 incidents being fatal.
What local demographic group would be most likely to attempt to jay-walk across a highway at night, in the dark?? We don’t really know because there is never any follow-up on these incidents to explain what really happened, but my best guess is that all three of these involved “homeless” vagrants.
How many more of these will we see this year??
