Norah, where did you hear the Charger was going 100mph? So, are you saying, “don’t follow the proper procedures for crossing highways”? As I said in my previous post, “If there is still a vehicle approaching, WAIT until you are sure it is going to stop”. Never walk in front of a moving vehicle.

If you walk up to a road you want to cross, look both ways and only see headlights a block or maybe a block and half away and start to cross . You may not have realized the oncoming car just ran a light and is coming at you at 100 mph. Two or three steps and that car will be on top of you. This driver does not care about any crosswalks.

Beverly Brantley, in an earlier post, “Straight Shooter” pointed out that if the adults had crossed the street properly and legally, the outcome would have been different. Instead of ranting, why not try to educate people to follow the simple rules. Go to the nearest legal place to cross the road. Wait until the traffic signals, if any, which in this case was at the crosswalk, tells you to walk. But, as you know, not all people follow the traffic signal’s instructions. So, after the signal says okay to cross, make sure with your own eyes that the coast is clear. If there is still a vehicle approaching, WAIT until you are sure it is going to stop. I read a long time ago to wait until you look them in the eyes, making sure they see you, before you cross.

WOW.. just WOW that people are arguing if it was a j-walking or not.. WHO CARES!?!?!? either way 2 people are DEAD.. either way, someone chose to NOT stop and kept going. 2 people were killed and 1 injured and then left… if that person had stopped after it would not have saved them, the results would be the same but at least the VERY least it would have showed they had compassion… but in the end, 2 people lost their lives and all anyone on this post can do is point fingers and place blame about a freaking cross walk… sad sad day

Jay walking or cross walk..does it really matter??? He blew through the red light really fast so even in the crosswalk it would be the same result…Bottom line..he hit 3 people and kept on going….The area doesn’t matter….The driver plowed them down and kept going….

Mr Reality, in some cases it is the first step. I didn’t know I was a Chief, but if it makes you feel it might bother me, then, ouch.

This is why I chose to live in a non urban setting. This is also why I chose not to go out at night and walk along busy roadways. I do not trust the drivers here in Escambia or any other city for that matter. You cannot just “trust” drivers on the roadway. Most people do a great job at operating their motor vehicle the correct way reasonably and prudent, law abiding however there are many others who fail to do so. Reckless, DUI and people driving without licenses. No thanks. I’ll go live out in the middle of no where.
