Pedestrians Asking For It?
Another school bus vs. pedestrian accident, this time in Eureka. That last one in Fortuna, under different circumstances, resulted in the pedestrian dying.
Information on this last one is sketchy. It looks to me as if the girl might have deliberately walked in front of the school bus. Why go to the hospital when you weren't even knocked to the ground and had no visible injuries? An easy insurance settlement, perhaps?
Funny that this isn't the first time I've heard of or noticed brazen pedestrian behavior over the last 3 days. Two days in a row- Tuesday and Wednesday- I've been driving down Buhne Street in Eureka during the afternoon. Both incidents happened within three blocks of each other.
Two guys in their late teens or early twenties look right at my car and walk out into the street in front of me. I was less than 50 feet from both of them. At least they gave me enough distance to slow down. They knew I was there and was driving normal speed. Did they want to get hit or were they just trying to jerk me around by making me slow down and stop real fast?
Wish there was a way for guys like that to get ticketed.
