Yes, that was perhaps dumb of him, but she was on a cellphone. Her car drifted across the line and struck him. How is it not negligent homicide?

The cell phone should not be a factor until it becomes unlawful to use a cell phone while driving...

If the man was running with the traffic, he was on the wrong side of the road...Had he been of the right side of the road, she wouldn't have hit him...Plus, he may have been able to avoid a vehicle going over the line had he seen it coming...

It likely was not a sharp turn over the line but a gradual drift...

It's not illegal to snort Clorox while driving either...but would be very distracting also...and probably lead to an accident.

“The cell phone should not be a factor until it becomes unlawful to use a cell phone while driving...”

It -is- unlawful to use a cell phone while driving in Connecticut, and has been so for a number of years.

It may be perfectly legal in the state from which you’re posting, but not so in CT...
