[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I can't understand is how, if the driver stopped before the crosswalk and accelerated safely from a stop, his vehicle gained enough speed between where he stopped and the crosswalk to kill a five year-old. Studies show that most pedestrians have a very good chance of surviving being hit by a vehicle going 25 mph. The vehicle can't have travelled more than a few feet before reaching the crosswalk and so, with a normal acceleration, should have been traveling considerably less than 25 mph. With the few facts we have to go on, the accident doesn't make a lot of sense.[/quote] https://smartgrowthamerica.org/bigger-vehicles-are-directly-resulting-in-more-deaths-of-people-walking/[/quote]
