He may have been in the intersection legally, if he entered on a
green!  Everyone must yield until he crosses!  You aren't supposed
to hit anyone at all!

His comment was "I have a PT Cruiser I'd like to get rid of also" ;-)

Wasn't that something though how the crunched in area of the Subaru caught
the pedestrian in the hollow and didn't completely crush him as it rolled
over. What are the odds? The article listed that he was seriously injured,
hope he survived. My prayers to him and his family.

I can't tell from the video what state the lights were in.  Was the
pedestrian jaywalking?  Did he survive?

He was jaywalking.  He was "dead at the scene", but was noticed to be
breathing as they were removing the "body".  He's reported to be still
in serious condition at Miami (Ohio) Valley Hospital.

Not that there wasn't a _very_ stupid driver involved, which would have 
just as likely taken out a legal pedestrian.

A friend of my dad's was a deputy Sheriff when he saw an accident like 
this developing (sans pedestrian).  He couldn't do anything to prevent 
it, but he _could_ stick his mic out the window and key it at the 
critical moment.  He unkeyed his mic, and the unflappable Clackamas 
County Sheriff's dispatcher radioed "would the unit at the scene of the 
injury accident please report your ID and location?"

Ouch.

I lost my first new car like that. 
I was driving through a green, and BANG. 
He was in a little pickup, me in a little wagon.
He actually came up on top of my hood, and spun me more than 180
degrees.
Even that didn't stop him, he deflected about 30 degrees to his left
and hit the median.  He claimed to be only going 30 mph. :)

The fellow on my left, sitting at the red light, saw the whole thing.
Better yet, he had just left the bar where he and the fellow that hit
me had been!

The spot was a four-way like this, except to my right was not a road,
but a freeway onramp. The guy that hit me was going to the freeway.

The PT Cruiser with a 75yo old lady was running the light, the crossing 
SUV had the green- so the pedestrian was crossing against the red 
crossing light- but it is also clear the SUV was operated by a mentally 
challenged individual exercising no caution- a confluence of 
mindlessness all around- every single individual was in the wrong. A lot 
of these old people are on serious prescription drugs and their minds 
are zeroed- so you really need to watch for them- treat them like a 
runaway vehicle with no driver- and avoid going near drug stores- the 
damned bastards need to stay home, they have no business going out in 
public. There was a time when old meant wisdom, but thanks to modern 
medicine this is no longer the case, old now mostly means a worthless 
young person who survived to old age and still worthless.

Surrounded by old folk (my father is almost 86, and most of his
brothers and sisters are still alive) I find mental and physical
capacity to vary highly from individual to individual.

Based on the observations of my limited sample size, it seems to me
that folk who used their minds regularly throughout their lives keep
their mental capacity into old age.

Physically my body is not treating me too nicely, particularly since I
had polio when I was seven, and arthritis is now taking advantage of
my skeletal frailties, but I'll mentally take on a 20-year-old any day
;-)
