Why do we need a video of a tragedy? This is so inappropriate.
106 fatalities on average day in USA is staggering, and this horrifying # has to begin coming down immediately.
I don’t understand how this happened. This is a 4 way intersection in yehupitzville with no sidewalks, lighting or crosswalks, not pedestrian friendly at all.
@qsman Have you been to the area lately?
It’s actually a 4-way intersection with crosswalks and lights in all directions.
She was on the crosswalk, and the driver passed a red.

You obviously have never left your cacoon of NYC.
But, yeah. That intersection is dangerous if your not very careful.
