"...he was hit while crossing Community College Drive and Charleston Boulevard against a red light..."

They're everywhere. In my neighborhood they run down the streets like they're driving cars, and some act like they're oblivious to everything around them, including red lights. Accidents like this are inevitable. Tragic, but inevitable.
