Such a tragedy to hear of such, so sorry to hear of the loss of this poor man. These roads do need more lighting, pedestrians please wear lighter clothing and vehicles need to slow down drastically.

@JS,
From my family to you….THANK YOU! But, like you said you heard him take that one breathe because he actually passed on impact. The coroner told us this morning that the breathe you seen him take was actually just his body shutting down. He did pass away. His funeral is Tuesday at Eastern Gate. Family is 12-1. Friends are from 1-2 and services are begin at 2. Thank you for stopping to help.

No one knows anything about Jason and what his mental state was. Yes, he was walking on the wrong side of the road. In the state of Florida you walk against traffic so you can see what is coming towards you. If you want to argue that then argue with the investigators that told me that when I was waiting on scene. Jason was a good person but the devil had a grip on him that he was fighting hard. As Jason’s family is saddened by the fact that all these people just drove by. At least we know Jason was not alone and had one good Samaritan in this pittiful town.

I am sorry to hear this. I live close by to the location. As for the broad issue of pedestrians and traffic, I just want to add that I am amazed and shocked on how many pedestrians don’t even bother to look at cars or proceed with caution. They live like they have a protective bubble around them and could never get hit or hurt. Both the pedestrian and drivers need to pay full attention. I am surprised, based on what I see, that pedestrians are not struck much more frequently.

@Renee Strother – I am so, so sorry for your family’s loss, but you should know that that is not the law for pedestrians, so that you can help others from suffering from a terrible accident like your nephew. See Perry’s post – the Florida Statute (law).

@JS I’m sorry you had to go through what you did. I was in an a wreck about a year ago and I never got to think the man who helped me. But I’ll never forget. But I will also remember how people would just drive by and take pictures I even saw a couple actually sit and watch. I don’t know what is wrong with people they are very different. I’m sure the man you helped was very thankful that someone was so kind. Thank you for just being who you are.
