Pedestrian stepped out in front of car simply no traffic lights so what else could have happened? You don’t cross the road if a car is coming
Whaaat!! Is going on
Head full of music, and arrogance is my ‘guess’
Wait until electric cars become common place, with near silent motors many many more children and elderly will be mowed down.
Whilst people moan about loud exhausts, at least you can hear them coming over ‘Wet Leg’ blasting a few millimetres from your eardrums.
Why would you run on a main road or any road in the first place breathing in all that pollution? Never understood it?
I was told it was a jogger with headphones ‘in the zone’.
Get well fella.
