and now you will probably feel like #### when I tell you what really happened
The story is...driver of the van drove past the cross-walk, obviously at this point the pedestrian thought it was ok to cross (wouldn't you?), not in this case...The driver saw a parking space open up from the row he just passed (or something like that) and decided to throw his van in reverse and speed backwards to try and get the spot.
So yes folks, this was all over trying to get a damned parking space.
Turns out that grandma knows the lady that got hit :shrug:
Her injuries consist of a crushed shoulder socket and bruises. (that is all I recall hearing). She is being taken care of but it was her main arm that had the socket crushed so god knows when/if she'll be able to really do things the same as before.
