you are correct. The issues would be resolved in a courtroom. The crucial point i believe would be in determining negligence on behalf of the second driver. It would be pointed out that if the first driver could have avoided the pedestrian why couldn't the second driver who fatally struck the pedestrian who was illegally in the street?
