Some 60 year old woman strolled out in front of a motorcycle and got killed. Apparently she was crossing the street multiple times. Darwin.

2 others were injured after the motorcycle slid into them.

Darwin.

Ironic that it doesn't hold for you.

At 60 she has likely reproduced so Darwin cannot be invoked for this one. Even if she had not, her age has taken her out of the gene pool.

Beyond that I am amazed it does not happen more often the way the spectators jump out inthe streets and run along side the cars.


Still a bummer for all involved though.
