The 15 yo made it across the west bound lanes but was struck by a car in the eastbound lanes. He was thrown 70 feet back into the westbound lanes. His buddy made it across.
My wife and I were coming back from a event we attended for my wife's work. I was driving westbound in the left lane and hit the body laying in the lane. I never saw him until the last second. Even if I had time, I was in traffic and couldn't swerve or brake.
We pulled off about a quarter mile from the scene and called 911. Needless to say, it was pretty messy.

Pretty bad experience. One wrong choice and so many lives changed. I still think about that night.

That had to be traumatic for you.
