Iowa City Pedestrian hit by car

[CaposCy]

If you read into the comments. It isn’t looking good. Prayers to the pedestrian.

Had a couple near misses with runners tonight.
Wear night gear when you run in the dark, folks. Maybe avoid dark colors, too.

Comments are saying it could possibly involve Coach Mccafreys youngest son as the one driving.

MF’s son was the driver.

And generally just assume every car is trying to kill you

I don’t see it as a big deal that we have a thread since it may involve a future Hawkeye but maybe in-state rivals would be a better location.

Just hope the jogger survives. Probably have to go to Reddit for any follow up on that.

Survive and sues the McCaffreys

Did you honestly think there WOULDN'T be a thread on this site given who is possibly involved?

 

[Proton]

I regret using the Mad Fran reference earlier. Being flip in a thread like this is tacky at best. It's a tragedy, and I hope for the best for all involved.

That would ensure that Fran stays until his 70s as he would have to rebuild his money pile. Or he lives off of Conner's NBA money.

 

[trevn]

Regardless of who was or wasn't involved, this is a pretty sad deal. Hopefully the pedestrian ends up ok.

MF?

I know the law doesn't work this way, but to me, it's on pedestrians to avoid cars, always. What's easier to spot: a pedestrian seeing and hearing a car coming, or a driver trying to look out for other cars, animals and pedestrians at the same time? Even when I'm at a crosswalk and get the "WALK" sign, I keep an eye on every car that's moving and make eye contact with the drivers to make sure they see me and are stopping.
