This accident offers important lessons to both drivers and pedestrians. Drivers must always focus on the road, especially in areas with pedestrians and bicyclists. In the few seconds it takes to change the radio or pick up a cell phone, a pedestrian can cross the path of your vehicle without warning. Likewise, pedestrians must always be aware of traffic laws, only crossing the road at designated areas when the traffic signal allows for it.
