Man, 91, dies after Brooklyn mobility scooter crash

Man crossing lawfully in crosswalk and gets hit and killed by a Toyota Tundra truck "The investigation is continuing but police say they do not believe speed is a factor. No charges have been filed against the driver, according to police."

Seriously, police need to work on their safety PR, you don't need to be speeding or drunk to be charged for "failing to stop for pedestrian in a crosswalk."

"Baltimore and the surrounding area seems to have no regard for crosswalks. Maybe the color needs to be changed from white to bright red." - Maryland Car Accident Blog
