Notice here the difference between DUI and just being stoned, progressive. And even still the story says it was the jaywalker’s fault for stepping into traffic.

Legally speaking it is never the pedestrians fault when he or she is t-boned by a moving motor vehicle.

It goes further than that in Washington State. If the pedestrian is in a marked pedestrian crosswalk and you run them down there are penalties beyond the dreams of avarice.
