    Diod you see the accident? If not, I would suggest that you keep your opinions to yourself. It is all too easy to blame the diver and not the pedestrian. Calling for silly low speed limits doesn't make sense, when the chances are that the victim was the possible cause of the accident. You never know, she might have walked out frm behindone of the two buses mentioned in the article.
    At the end of the day, when you cross a road, you are responsible for your own actions.
    I hope all concerned in the accident recover, both the victim and the driver concerned, as well as any witnesses to the incident."
