I don't know why these seniors think they can make it across the street before getting hit, you cannot. Pedestrians need to know, when you cross in darkness you do not become visible until about 25 feet, that leave very little time for drivers to react. If you must cross, cross when there are no headlights, otherwise wait. I wonder if the police have even considered that its was a suicide attempt?
