In DC, people are notorious for jaywalking or simply walking out into the street without looking, any number of which are actually looking to get hit so that they can cash in on a big insurance settlement (if they survive!).
This is a non-story.

Sorry to disappoint you. The man was a pedestrian crossing in the crosswalk with the green light in his favor.
The man splayed onto Novak’s windshield. Novak drove away. When finally stopped he simply said he hadn’t seen the pedestrian.

You can always tell the DC natives and close-by commuters from tourists. To those of us who live here, traffic lights don’t mean a thing. Honest.

Hit-and-run is definitely a story. The witness accounts show that the pedestrian had the walk sign.
