Your type don't deserve a good reply. Cos you lack common sense and reality has elude you already. If you're not foolish, do you think we all gather like an illiterate without trying to help, emergency of no response and people driving with speed will achieve what?

These are very strong words for someone who I believe did you no wrong.

I do not believe there is an overhead pedestrian bridge where this woman was killed - pedestrians all over Nigeria are heavily marginalized when road traffic infrastructure is designed and built. What options do they then have against fast moving traffic where there are no pedestrian bridges? The highway code requires pedestrians to look carefully before walking (not running) across the road. This is simply not possible within our environment - the traffic does not slow down enough for pedestrian traffic to walk across - people have to run across to make it in time (with all the risks this entails). Why then blame them when disaster strikes?

I don't know this woman's story. But note that fully grown adults make mistakes. They are human after all. People can be alert, careful, 'fully dressed and conscious' (your own words) and still make mistakes. All it takes is for a pedestrian to misjudge a vehicle's speed by a few seconds and the worst can (and does) happen.

I have tried to cross the road on that axis against fast moving traffic and it is not easy. Your Darwinist explanation or rationalization of this woman's sad fate is simply insensitive.

P.S. I am not in any way supporting the actions of pedestrians who decide to cross highways with fast moving traffic when the option of pedestrian overhead bridges exists.

What a tragedy! So nobody could render help to this victim until she gave up.
Now I ask what's the difference between what's happening around us and that in the animal kingdom?

My condolences to the bereaved!

I am upset about this accident, and I also specified the instance of mistake or carelessness. I agree adults make mistakes but some will really have you question the type of person involved.

I can classify crossing that particular express carelessly in the same category with using petrol as fuel for a kerosene stove (intentionally).

madgoat:
