    I feel for the young lady that hit the man but I have almost done that several time when people are walking along the roadway wearing dark clothes and are ALMOST on the road. I have prayed each time and thanked God for not allowing this to happen. PLEASE EVERYONE out there walking especially at night wear light clothes and stay away from the road.
