Crazy that on a shitty technicality, the driver did not break any rules...
The crosswalk with the flashing lights is neither marked or unmarked, and drivers are not required to slow down or yield right of way when yellow lights are flashing, only flashing red.
Like sure maybe you don't see lights flashing above you, but maybe pay attention at the road directly in front of you??
There's every excuse to take blame off drivers.
I don't understand how they're not pressing charges when the driver's lack of attention killed somebody. Even if there's no requirement to slow down at flashing yellow lights it's still illegal to kill someone, we have manslaughter charges specifically for this type of accidental death. I don't get how the driver is exempt from this, the driver is responsible controlling their car after all.
American culture values cars (and guns) more than the lives of people, even children.
