Do we know the driver didn't look into the crosswalk first? I don't want to start a driver vs pedestrian war, but I see the potential headline "pedestrian walks in front of car that has the right of way and nearly dies" on a daily basis. It is dangerous to be a pedestrian, but it is also hard to be a driver.

I hope this is the wake-up call the city needs to stop having design meetings and actually start doing something to help pedestrian safety in Davis Sq.
