None of this would have happened if this non-tax-paying pedestrian was required to be licensed.

There isn't much for east-west corridors between Market and 85th. Everything else (80th, 65th) is one lane, no turn lane, and often with parked cars along the street.

That was awfully nice of the people in the house to help him. I like hearing stuff like that after hearing so much awful stuff that happens.

the crosswalk is actually at 12th. it would be great to have one where this happened at 11th, as that is where the parking area and most of the church activity empties out.

Any idea if he was in the crosswalk?

The medics told the medic one doctor on the radio that the car was going about 40mph when it hit the victim. I'm surprised he isn't worse off.
