Agreed with you on this one, after look at news footage off ch7 last nite, there is ped crossing up the road, so, the Wonam and their daughter chose to jay walking cross the road, and they pay the consquences of jay walking cross the road.
When i learn the news, i have strong feeling that was purely accident seeing the site isn't a designated pedestrain crossing. So the driver shouldn't be blamed for this regardless what car he/she drives, If it were happened to me in this situation, I'll agure that pedestrains should cross the road using desginated crossing zone.
Just my 2 cents.
