Wasn't there a thread dedicated to that webcam?
I remember watching it quite a bit. It nearly happened a few times with people trying to replicate the walk.
That's why we don't do it in the road.
Dunno what she was thinking legging it across like that but the car driver should have been a lot more observant coming up to a zebra crossing.
Driver's reaction times were poor, but in all honesty, who legs it like that across a zebra crossing without looking? Her running course was wierd too, she veered off the crossing and in front of the car. If she stayed on the line she might've seen or avoided the car.
Emus do that too. True story.
Maybe the driver had blisters on his fingers.
Not sure how you can say the drivers reaction times were poor doubt the driver even saw her until she was being struck. Remember the drivers POV is different from ours. You also had the other car going the other way blocking that drivers view of the woman as she ran towards the crosswalk. 100% her fault, nothing at all to do with the driver of the car.
Looked like she was looking to get hit intentionally.
So you're saying he didn't see her standing there?
There's clear something wrong with her. I guess the only you can do is Run For Your Life. Good to see the pedestrians come together and help her. Once she veered off track she was given a one way ticket to ride.
Oh dear what can he do? Baby's in black, now he's feeling blue.
I naturally assumed this would be someone hit whilst doing the "walk"...Amazingly it's someone even more deserving.
She was trying to commit suicide obviously.
Let this be a lesson to anyone who let's babies drive their car.
I guess you could say she was the walrus in the sky with diamonds.
A bit grim seeing her Twist and Shout on the ground after being struck. And to think only Yesterday, all her troubles seemed so far away.
You are why we can't have nice things.
I feel for the driver, he/she is going to have to carry that weight a long time. Did no one shout "Get Back" before she ran into the road? She is lucky parts of her did not end up Here, There and Everywhere.
Is it true the first thing she said was "I should have known better"

All I wanted to do was Drive My Car then I Saw Her Standing There then she sets off running and we Come Together and she goes flying Across the Universe.
Norwegian Wood.
Norwegian Wood.
Idiot or a terrible attempt at insurance fraud, as others have remarked. Quite curious what on earth caused her to run full pelt across a road like that, though.
... She didn't notice that the lights had changed?
She had a ticket to ride.
Hmmm, her jestures afterward show her pointing to the driver as if to point the blame towards him.
She was later asked about her condition, to which she replied "I Feel Fine"
What will they make her crutches out of?
Deserved it.
Scandanavian plastic?
Love that song.
I once had a blow up girl, or should I say, she once had me
I blew her up in my room, I was ecstatic, Scandanavian Plastic
Probably an American.
Nah, just a day tripper
Look at the guy in the pink shirt at the start. He sees her get hit and pushes his children away to hide. 
He helped her after but that was so baffling.
He helped her after but that was so baffling.Not really, he was not sure what extent she was injured and perhaps did not want them to see anything unsettling to them. He might also just have wanted them safely out of the way before he went to help.Look at the guy in the pink shirt at the start. He sees her get hit and pushes his children away to hide.
He was either worried his kids would walk into the road (and potentially into on-coming traffic) whilst he was helping her, or worried they'd see a bad injury. Probably the former.Look at the guy in the pink shirt at the start. He sees her get hit and pushes his children away to hide.
Ok that makes sense.
Yeah you can usually work baffling things out with some basic common sense.
Look at Suli in this thread.
