It was a very dark area. Absolutely no lights. Not far from the EHPD. I was just telling my husband about this.

People need to slow down. Get off phones and just drive and pay attention. There's an elderly gentleman that usually walks his black and white pit bull over there. I hope it wasn't him.

It's also just a fundamental infrastructure problem. Even slowing down and being hyper vigilant only does so much when there's not even a sidewalk for pedestrians to walk on. It's a 40 mph one lane road through a residential area where pedestrians are forced onto the shoulder. And it's not even particularly rural or empty or anything; if you make roads like that it's going to kill someone sooner or later.

And a lot of people will say just don't walk, but like god forbid someone wants the luxury of being able to walk outside of the place they live without getting run over.
