He might have wanted to get injured so he could have someone to sue.

Take your own advice says
If someone didn’t hit him over the head and throw him into the street, he’s culpable for the accident because no logic gives him any legal ingress to the middle of the street. My sympathies are with the driver who had their day wrecked in a serious way.

People have lost their sense of humanity. Regardless of the circumstances of this horrific accident, a life was lost and prayers should be said for everyone involved, including the person that died. Be compassionate of those that are troubled with their thoughts. This person might have been someone who was abused and could not overcome such horrible experience. Maybe he had a mental disorder and so on. It could be one of your family members that your are not aware of his/her troubles.
Be compassionate of the life that was lost and of those that have to relive that scene everytime they close their eyes….the police man and women, the driver, the witnesses and drivers that passed by. To all of you: may God give you strength and help you overcome every thought your eyes have seen. My deepest sympathies go to his family that are yet to find out about his horrific death.
May God be with us.
