JAYWALKING, thus breaking the law! The unfortunate consequence of that action was her life and serious injury to the fiance.

The girl is 33 yrs. old and an ER nurse to boot!! Didn't she see enough of this type of situation in the ER to know better?? To place liability for safety measures these adults KNEW, IGNORED & BROKE THE LAW on the city is LUDICROUS, Mr. Azero.

So please, as what the others have stated, don't blame the Police and/or the City, for your daughter's blatant negligence.","createdAt":"5 Nov 2009 23:05:06 GMT","fromUserId":9240730,"isDefaultUserIconUploaded":false,"isDisabled":false,"isVisible":true,"messageId":1192548,"pathToPhoto":"116995/icons/defaultMember_116995_portrait.jpg","reviewed":true,"updatedAt":"20090729033351","username":"Octupus"},{"body":"Oh and by the way, Yes there should be an officer either the city police or one paid for by the trolley.

Every driver should be held accountable for their actions. A pedestrian should have the right of way. This driver should have seen 15 or so people and slowed down. Definitely drivers fault, and should face charges. This is typical of why some drivers do not care how they drive. they know they will not face charges most of the time.

There it is, the foundation of the lawsuit that is sure to come. What happenned to personal responsibility? She rolled the crap dice with her life and lost. Crosswalks and pedestrian lights are there for a reason, to give a guidance of when it is probably safe to cross. Crossing the street otherwise you are placing the responsibility for your safety on someone else. Not smart.","createdAt":"5 Nov 2009 17:52:33 GMT","fromUserId":9229725,"isDefaultUserIconUploaded":false,"isDisabled":false,"isVisible":true,"messageId":1189844,"pathToPhoto":"116995/icons/defaultMember_116995_portrait.jpg","reviewed":true,"updatedAt":"20090729010711","username":"Paulination"},{"body":"I blame Mary Poppins, she wouldn't let us down.
