I hope the driver who killed the young man on the sidewalk faces sanctions.
When I was almost killed in a crosswalk on US 1 in Key West, the person who accelerated around the properly stopped car in front of her to hit me so hard I flew into the air and landed on my head* then wildly careened across the boulevard to smash into a hotel sign–she got an $80 “Fail to yield the right of way” traffic ticket.
*I was airlifted to Jackson with a subdural hematoma that dissolved overnight. I still don’t remember 22 hours.
