Very sad but I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. I see pedestrians crossing a very busy, fast 8-lane highway on my way to work (when I drive) all of time. They typically cross between lights rather than using their brains and crossing at a traffic light, and are usually wearing dark clothes. There also has been quite a few incidents here lately where motorists break down on the interstates and get hit trying to cross. Another recent accident occurred when a couple were having an argument, pulled over and got out of their car, and were both hit and killed. Nobody won that argument.
