  1. Okay since it's the north side lets just say what really happened. Some idiot crosses or walks out in the middle of the street and sees a car but keeps walking anyways. Of person was a biker riding in the middle of the street thinking he was a car cut someone off and got hit in the process and it's the drivers fault.

    In other states you jaywalk or do the stupid driving the bike in the of the street and a car hits you, you have to pay the driver for damaging the vehicle
