I have a really horrible story. my husband and I were driving down a very dark desolate road this Sat. evening looking to use a bathroom on a road in the middle of nowhere It was past dusk but not completely dark but visability was less than zero there were trees and woods and very much to our surprise private secluded homes there was a dark almost black stone wall all along this road to seclude the fact of expensive homes set way in to the woods by a lake. When all of a sudden out of nowhere came a woman dressed all in black darting into the road trying to croos the street she never stopped and tried to beat our car by the time we saw her she was on our windshield and in the street. We stopped immediately and called 911. Unfortunatly she was dead immediately. We were traveling the speed limit if not b4elow about 30-35 miles an hour I know this because I looked right at the speedometor becaus I needed to use a ladies room and my husband and I had no Idea where we were so we were looking for a side road or some type of life that would let us know where we were going. This lady was 81 years old had on black clothes black shoes on a dark stree with no lighting nor were there any indications that there was property anywhere . She attempted to beat our car but unfortunatly her judgement was off My husband never saw her he was driving and she came frome his blindspot on the left of our car unfortunately I saw the whole incident unfold so fast I couldnt get the scream out fast enough she was all ready on our hood when my husband stopped and swerved to avoid her she was on my side of the hood and her head and face hit the center of our windshield. I was informed that on Sunday this happened on saterday night her family had already called my insurance co. Now I definatly realise that a life was lost and this was tragic. But not at all do I feel that we were responsible for her death She was negligent not us she came from nowhere in the dark in dark clothing in clog shoes and tried at 81 years old to outrun a car going 34 miles an hour that never saw her until it was too late. I know her family is angry and I can gaurrentee they are going to sue. What laws are there that protect me I feel that I am a victim even though she lost her life she made that decision to take a risk to try and outrun our car.
