Sounds like this happened in a residential area and if the Pathfinder was going the legal 25, it should have been able to both spot her and stop easy.
I have a Pathfinder and I could have avoided that accident easily.

The person who hit the people fled the scene and there is no way they did not know they made contact, so they were speeding I am sure.

I do agree people walking should watch where they are going also though.
Want to see a bunch of stupid people? Leave any church parking lot after a service and you will see the brain dead walking in front of all the cars.

LOL exactly. There is a big big church (I call it the Baptist Mall) down the road. These people act like they own the neighborhood. They slow traffic to a crawl and have no regard for the rules of the road. A new traffic light was installed, with one of those "push the button" to change the light. They STILL just walk across any old place, usually without looking, and when they do look, it's with such a sneer of entitlement I really wanna yell at them.
I always liked the traffic in NYC, where everyone was brave, but understood if you didn't get out of the way it was your problem.
