Good point on the rear view. If they had a hint that danger was moving up on them fast, they might could have taken evasive action. The driver must really have been out of it, to take both of them out.. Almost like a bowling ball shot.. My bets are the driver never seen them at all. When he came up he was on them or already ran over them.
