I haven't seen anything "official" that shows the driver was speeding, so why all the focus on speeding? From what has been posted the pedestrian walked in front of the vehicle, the pedestrian's fault. I see so many people walking with the traffic when it has been taught since most of us were grade school students that we should walk facing the traffic. That way you can see the driver's face which helps the pedestrian to determine if the driver sees them. Walking facing the traffic gives you time to get out of the way if the driver doesn't see you. Walking with traffic you have your back to the vehicles and you have no warning. In most of the pedestrian accidents I heard about over the years the pedestrian was at fault for not paying attention. It's just like with golf carts vs cars, a cart will come out on the short end of a collision and a pedestrian will fare even worse. You are an idiot if you think that everyone else should be responsible for your safety. Get your head out of that dark, smelly place and pay attention to your surroundings.
