Or maybe the girl was absolutely devastated and traumatized by the fact that she just hit a guy with a car?

Is there any footage? Unbiased witnesses?

Possibly, there's several businesses there. Are there any witnesses that say he was in the road?

17 year old? More than likely.

Also, I don't get the sisters outrage over the girl not being arrested. I can't think of a story of someone being arrested immediately after hitting someone unless they're clearly under the influence. You typically have to wait for these things to play out.

They still usually check you out for drugs, texting or drinking.

Could be. Could also be someone not paying attention and wandering into the road. I can't tell you how many times people just step out into the road.

Sounds like a tragic accident all around.

Poor guy probably got tired of people calling him 'Binky' and decided to jump in traffic.

Attorney Ashley Greenhouse, of Haley & Associates, said, “I am hopeful that video footage captured by a local business and secured by police will answer some of the questions Mr. West and his family still have.
sounds like they should have footage. That's good.

West had reportedly already crossed the street and was off to the side of the road when he was hit.
Sounds like he was crossing the road as he was hit, or just before he was hit.

Everyone needs to get dashcams.

I’m sure I’d be on the news if I had hit the black guy that held his arms up like he was holding a rifle and pretending to shoot me as he forced me to come to a stop in the middle of Perkins / Essen on Friday.

It happened across the street from the Family Dollar. There's plenty of shoulder there.
