……. another “mindless” act by both the pedestrian and the driver of the vehicle
considering how many b4 have died in similar ” accidents ” shouldn’t both be concerned if not for their own safety but for others ,, the driver should have slowed down on approaching the parked truck,, knowing full well that anything is possible any time by anyone on the roads in GY ,, i tell you all this is just a simple case of ” MINDLESSNESS ” !!!… a young adult ,,, no less !
