Why should the driver be charged? unless she blew through a red light or stop sign......then I could see a constitution for it.

If it was near the police station that would make it La Salle County. Livingston County starts south of 12th St.

Sounds like the driver has cause against pedestrian, more pedestrians and cyclists should be ticketed. The spawn drive and walk without regard to the laws.

Sounds like the driver had the right of way. Why should she get a ticket for driving? What's the frivolous you are talking about? Cops giving tickets based on standard order of procedures? That's why intersections and jaywalking laws exist.

well where we was walking at there isn't any side walks towards the trailer park Well then The person who was struck by the car has a good lawsuit for the city for not having safe access / sidewalks. But then again, I would need a layout of the area to get a good idea of the layout, may not be a lawsuit also.

People sometimes do not pay attention or care if there are cars approaching neither and will cross or start walking across to. But as a driver, we all have to be very attentive on others.
