When I was 13, one of my friends was hit by a car. It was a clear day, sunny, with no rain, fog, or haze. She was killed instantly, and her friend was critically injured and in physical therapy for a long time.
The driver wasn't charged because the girls ran out in the road and didn't use the crosswalks. Ironically, a few weeks after that accident, she hit another teenage girl who ran out in front of her car. I think she left town soon after that.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
