I was 8 respectively 9 years old when they happened. The only thing I recall, apart from the horror at the sight, is that they changed lane, and were hit. Of course, lots of people were never hit making that kind of left turns, but the number who were was sufficientlly high for the authorities to change the rules for left turns.
