Hate to comment on stories like this....this poor guy! Probably hit by someone without a license or was drunk. It's why, even though our laws are strict, they aren't strict enough. Driving is not a right....it's a privlege!

Why do you assume it was someone driving without a license or drunk? Maybe it was someone texting? Or maybe the person crossing should have waited for a green light at a cross walk? Our laws should be stricter - like what? Installing breathalyzers into every vehicle? Maybe offering drivers licenses to all those who meet the age requirements so we can make sure all drivers are insured and qualified? Nope, that second option sounds way too sensible. Lets just keep making sure people are driving uninsured and unlicensed. Real realistic legislature at its best. Onwards.

Kira...just saw your reply. When this story went up last night on Patch , it was reported as a hit and run. That is why I made my comment. Ease off the caffeine huh??;
