Probably didn’t see the guy. People should take sightlines of truckers into account.
Now how does one get hit by a reversing semi. This unobservant so called pedestrian should be charged with undo care and attention, I’m serious. May also checked for drugs and alcohol.
A drunk idiot
We do not know if the person had a medical handicap or poor eyesight or hearing loss! Calling him an idiot makes no sense at all!
Perhaps walking while texting or talking on a cell phone?
Distracted walking is on the increase! Gotta love it when they walk into a parking meter!
Might be time for another new law!!
Yup, just what we need, another new law! So much for “survival of the fittest” and “natural selection” where the dumb ones die off! Now we create laws to keep them alive, and then we let them breed, haha!
Confusing story. Is this a hit and run or did the driver just not realize he’s hit someone?
Does not say it was a hit and run. Driver could easily not have known.
