Wow, bad luck. I'm guessing this guy and driving while high aren't strangers.
Now now. You know the liberal/libertarian logic here.
Joints? Good. Guns? Bad.
Is it against the law to smoke pot and drive in that state?
But pails in comparison to accidents by cell phone users.

Drunks do it all the time. No difference.
No problem. It’s all legal.
8:09 in the morning?
A little early for some Prius driving prick to be getting toked up, dontcha think?
One business has left Colorado because employees were showing up under the influence. Such employee conduct destroyed productivity.
Idiocy. Does anyone really think that last week, when pot was illegal, nobody drove high?
We had a terrible incident here a couple of years ago. A woman was jogging pushing a tandem stroller holding her young twins. She was mowed down in a crosswalk. Miraculously the children were unhurt, but they lost their mother.
19 year old driver who admitted to smoking pot just before getting behind the wheel.
“slammed his Toyota Prius into a 46-year-old Portland woman”
Ouch, I wonder if the driver is okay?
It will become so bad that some states will feel compelled to impose the death penalty for possession for sale and being under the influence causing death or injury.

Seen it a million times and see this almost daily. There seem to be little details other than the pedestrian was in a crosswalk. In fact, I've seen some real dead pedestrians and bicyclist who died simply based on their own stupidity. Like walking in a crosswalk directly into the path of on coming vehicles. I noted the witnesses nor anyone else even mentioned if the intersection was light controlled or stop sign controlled intersection.
But I do agree, if the driver was smoking pot when driving then he was at least guilty for doing that. If the pedestrian walked directly into the path of an oncoming vehicle without so much as looking, then yes, the pedestrian is also a party to this stupidity.
There are lots of dead people who were dead right.
This will be an interesting comparison between Colorado and Oregon. Both have legal pot, but Colorado has legalized ride sharing companies like Uber, where Oregon seems to be siding with the taxi companies. Since Uber seems to be primarily a way to shuttle drunks around, Colorado should have lower drunk/high traffic arrests and fatalities if people use Uber/taxis more.
Of course! Just the beginning of a body count due to pot smoking.
Of course, this never would have happened if marijuana was still illegal in Oregon.
He’ll get off easy, since he was driving a Prius (Pious). His environmental sensitivity trumps his irresponsible driving behavior.
/sarc, but with liberals, who knows?
