I'm sure everyone here have witnessed jay walking on a daily basis and maybe even do it themselves. Alot of people have the mentality that pedestrians have the right of way and they just start walking out into traffic and expect cars to stop. All it takes is for a driver to check his/her mirror quickly and miss seeing the person crossing. people risk their lives everyday just to save a minute of time. it's sad

Poor girl. What a horrible way to go.
She must have been really messed, since it's literally a block from the Hospital.

I drive past there every single day. There are SO MANY IDIOTS that jaywalk there. Seriously, there are lights fifty meters each way, why the heck do you have to jaywalk? It's 8 lanes, people do 80 km/h regularly there. Don't risk it, walk to the light. Heck, I don't even understand what the brouhaha is all about. Even in the third world country I'm from, if you jaywalk on a busy street and get hit, it's your fault. Depending on where you are, it is considered a suicide. No shit.

And I don't care what the officer was doing. The person should not have been there, period.

I don't know , maybe it's just me , but we have real bad pedestrians here. They don't make eye contact, they assume u see them, they bitch at u even if u made an effort to stop and yield. Whatever happens to this girl (rip btw), I think we need some new pedestrian education for all the dumbasses out there. Try doing that in Asia. U will get run over and no one gives a shit about u

It's true, this is tragic but there are so many stupid pedestrians out there - never mind on the road - how about these morons that like to walk right in front of cars in parking lots???

Makes me want to just floor it.

StaxBundlez 02-03-2011 09:56 AM

was it a female cop?

:troll:




anyways too young.. @18, her life was just getting started..
RIP

sucks

its a really bad area for jaywalking with the skytrain right there. Theres a fence across most of the median so people cant cross but i guess crackheads just jump over it. It's always the most cracked out idiots that cross there too since anyone with some common sense will walk to the crosswalk.

although if she was at 98 theres a crosswalk right there anyways so there really is no excuse

What the hell does this have to do with anything? So.. what if they were a bad citizen?

tragedy aside, pedestrians have to take some responsibility for their own safety.

when i cross the street. i pretend drivers can't even see me. I will ASSUME they will not stop, therfore i don't blindly stroll out in front of them, even at a marked and lit crosswalk.

not being racist at all, but my collective observation : The incident of white mother/daughter strolled across the street , walking ever so slowly as if they own the road > asian women, east indian family!!!

you don't see a mother duck at the golf course walking right in front of a speeding golf cart while leading her 6 ducklings behind ,do you? whats the size of a duck's brain?.. hello!!!!!! rly??

We need to have an RS parents beat down crew on top of the anthony espinosa beat down crew.


P.S. You guys ever had an experience where you stop alittle ahead of the stop line and your cars nose was sticking out alittle into the cross walk line? What kind of people show you the bitchy look, and what kind of poeple just walks around your car and not care since a 0/mph car nose can not kill anyone.

in new york the pedestrians are psycho and so are the drivers. however this type of accident isnt that common cause drivers are alert and careful as fuck. ur not gonna succesfully educate crazy surrey pedestrians. however u might have a chance of educating the drivers, who are normal ppl who just need to be more careful and alert imo

I'll agree with this

It would be nice to find out more information though.

Still, if she hadn't jaywalked on what sounds like a pretty shitty place to jaywalk, she'd be alive.
