Most commentators to this article have absurd facts. The situation is that 1 The SUV was not driven over the footpath. 2 The child lived on the footpath with kin but was run down on the road 3 It is presumed that the driver was drunk which is likely not the case 4 Even if a SUV is driven at a slow speed, an accident involving an uncontrolled kid who you can bareky see on the road is not negligence on the part of the driver. The commentators have culled facts from other rich drunkard hit and run episodes to build extreme narratives. The writer of the article has curiously suppresed facts to build sensationalism and the roadside mob attitude that the bigger guy is always guilty runs in almost every comment on this post. Accidents can happen on our roads as things are unsafe and rules are not followed.
