Ryan Sullivan, of the State Patrol, as saying that while Moffett's "intentions were good," jaywalking caused the accident.

The driver of the pickup was ticketed for careless driving causing injury.
...they were both held responsible.

If it's against the light it's jaywalking, crosswalk or not, I believe.

We have laws falling out of our whatsits, but the Land of the Free has jaywalking. Yay, we're okay!

I must admit, it did make me smile re the pedestrian crossings in Rome.
I spent a lot of time in London, so I strode out fearlessly and of course the cars stopped. I advised a group of bewildered Merkins to wait for a nun (they're quite common in Rome, y'know) because there's no way they will be run over!
