    Lots of panhandlers in that area.
    Lots of traffic.
    I hope the guy is OK
    God Bless

    I see this jaywalking behavior all the time. Some people will actually walk away from the crosswalk and cross 20 to 30 feet away, in traffic; while looking in the opposite direction from oncoming traffic. It seems to be a deliberate effort to not use the crosswalk, I can’t imagine why. I didn’t see this incident, but the behavior is so common that I’d be surprised if that’s not what happened.
