    • Anyone one that feels like walking at 1:40 am. Unless you’re a juvenile that has a curfew set by parents, although it seems too many parents don’t do that these days. There are more people being struck by vehicles during the day. I’m posting at 2:30 am because I couldn’t sleep.

    • The dirt can support big rigs. Shoes can be cleaned. Don’t walk on the road unless crossing the road.
      (Not laughing about situation, just stunned by how many people walk in the road)

  3. Subpoena the driver’s cell phone records and you will see driver was probably text messaging. The family of the pedestrian can collect . Get a good lawyer ️
