I guess it's legal to run over dog walkers. No charges filed?

Sadly, a dog or person leading the other into the street can be impossible to anticipate.......sometimes people can die where the driver is not at fault.

No charges filed. Why not?

PENSACOLA, Fla. -- A crash that killed a pedestrian on Creighton Road this morning in Pensacola is under investigation. The victim was a former professor at Pensacola State College.

67 year-old Lawrence Gardner died after being hit by a pick-up truck at about 8:30 am. He had been walking his dog near the Summer Lakes subdivision where he lived.
Reaction from people who knew the victim.
Say Larry Gardner was walking his dog this way, westbound on Creighton, when a pick-up truck drove onto the shoulder and hit him.
No charges have been filed

You seem to insist on skipping a critically important part of the story. Why?

From your source and in your own post.


"Creighton Road was closed for about three hours after the incident.
No charges have been filed.
The cause of the crash is under investigation."

Which do you prefer. That the investigation be haphazard or correctly?

It is good that we have someone here who is already aware of all the facts leading to the crash.

I take it that you prefer a halfarsed investigation than one done properly.

Why do you NOT want a proper investigation?

A man is dead. Another man drove on the shoulder and killed him.
Normal people don't drive on the shoulder.
And I do not think there is any such thing as an accident. It's always someones fault.

I hope you're never on a jury, for anyone. For anyone to say there is no such thing as an accident, that it's always someone's fault is simply foolish.

Have you notified police of your completed investigation supported by all the video's of the crash in action?
