possible fatal pedestrian hit by car @ outside DQ victoria and east 34th
 

was eating at dona catas just now and theres a bunch of cops/ambulances and now tv crews blocking the intersection of victoria and east 34th.

i think i saw what appeared to be a white 240sx with blood all over the side


and my brother friends said they saw the guys head busted wide open


preety fucked up , cars are suppose to STOP as its a pedestrians stop cross thing.. i almost got smoked by a fucken chinese dude in a 09 camry last month as all other cars stopped for me to walk and i was 3/4 of the way from crossing.

please learn to SLOW DOWN

OH AND AVOID THE AREA!! TRAFFICS FUCKED

Buddy just saw that now. Apparently there's TONs of blood on the car.

sometime last year i rem driving down vic and all the cars slowed down and there was oranges all over the pavement. as i drove by i saw an old lady laying there with people surrounding her.

i always cross that crosswalk and i swear most of hte times peopel dont even bother to slow the fuck down since they only notice that stoplight thats on 33rd and vic, after that they just speed up again

i hope someone was able to snap pictures

cbc was the first newsvan there, should be on the tonights news

I agree, drivers need to be more mindful of pedestrians.

But pedestrians have to be smarter too. Wear bright clothes and make eye contact with the driver before crossing.

that crosswalk is pretty dangerous, all these old c-lai walking to the chinese restaurant and Teng's market

^ or when i gotta get to dairy queen to get my 2 for $4.20 deal

Pretty close to where I live;

I think that's the only pedstrian crosswalk[others are controlled by traffic lights] on victoria Street South of Kingsway.

That crosswalk can be quite hard to see, since the signs are located very far apart, plus it's on a crest.
I think they should add a traffic light there.

saw this too looked pretty facked up!!! blood was still on the side of the car

this is in my neighbourhood too, drove by it and saw blood on a white 240sx or celica, couldnt really see what happend though..

wonder if they'll add those pedstrian lights like they have on minoru blvd, by richmond centre

we should all write a petition to our local MLA and get a bunch of signatures from the local neighborhood, anyone care to start it ? :thumbsup:

Now I know which crosswalk you're talking about. Shit, I remember last time I walked there, none of the cars would stop either. Definitely dangerous :S

I walk that intersection about once every two weeks, and drive by almost everyday.

I'd put good money that it's not the pedestrians fault and it's most likely the driver. I see near misses at this spot at least once a month.

I've seen people just blow by that area all the time. One time I stopped for these two kids to cross the road (they were like approx 10 yrs old). but the guy on the far side was speeding and almost ran them over.

FUCK people need to learn to watch for crosswalks.

True, but for some of the seniors and children that use this crosswalk. They see cars stop on both sides, so they think it's safe to cross, but one guy drives by later on speeding as the pedestrians are both arleady half way through the intersection and thats how it happens.

So that's what was going on. I drove by the scene, didn't see anything at the moment but i saw 3 cop cars.

Hopefully the person who got hit didn't die.

Fuck I hate those douchebags that wears ALL black, black sweater with a BLACK hood, black pants, black shoes with NO reflective colors on them...seriously you're just asking to get ran the fuck over...HOWEVER, I do agree that drivers needs to be more aware and slow down..

pics of car now!

AND when they cross marked crossings, they don't press the damn button to make the lights flash

Yeah, I think they should add those blinking orange lights for the pedestrians to press when they want to cross (if they're not already there). Those pedestrian crosswalks with only the white stripes on the road are far too dangerous. I've seen alot of the near lane cars yielding to pedestrians but puts the pedestrian in the far lane car's blind spot and the far lane car just blows right past the crosswalk.

i hope the pedestrian wasnt on his/her cell phone while walking

I have yet to experience a close call at that crosswalk *knock on wood* but it's definitely a bitch to cross during the day with the constant stream of traffic.

I believe it should be made mandatory for pedestrians at night to wear high visiblity vests with blinking amber lights from dusk till dawn. Anyone caught without will be prompty run down and backed over.

Also sensors should be embedded into the ground that will give pedestrians jaywalking an excruciating painful electrical shock from their high visibility vest if they went even as far as 1 inch off the cross walk.

Jaywalks who are caught should all be made to wear rainbow arm bands and sent off to labour camps and arctic explorations with minimal clothing.
