家里两位老人受伤，还要照顾小宝宝，他们一定忙得焦头烂额了吧？

我家儿子和他们家女儿一样大，如果需要帮忙做宝宝吃的饭，我可以多做一份送过去。

I am so sad to read this news. My mom, as a pedestrian, experienced the same type of accident in Kannta, with no further investigation and no charge to the driver. I ended up paying from my insurance for medical cost and my insurance consequently increased in the following years for it. It was a pedestrian walking sign (clearly), and she started to cross. When she was close to the middle divider, there was a van making left turn, and hit her. She got broken ankle and back injury. When I rushed to ER, the police officer told me that the driver was a good man and he didn't flee from the scene (which is obviously irrelevant to the nature of the accident), and the officer also claimed that the driver blamed my mom was crossing in a non-pedestrian light and the weather was foggy that he could not see her. This was clearly a lie since my mom would be a much bigger object and she was about half-distance from the driver than the traffic light (which means the driver either lied about the traffic light and/or he was also reckless driving not seeing my mom's crossing and maybe he was rushing the turn by avoiding oncoming traffic). Unfortunately, the police officer didn't bother to investigate his credibility or to attempt finding witness. There was no follow up investigation and the driver got only a fine of $150. BTW, I don't want to imply anything, but the officer did not bother listening to my mom's story even when I offered to translate. She did not speak much of English and we are clearly visible minority. Multiple follow-up calls to HQ turned out to be complete waste of time. The most important thing is the well-being of my family.

I hope this would be investigate thoroughly and the family get well soon.

Thanks for sharing your experience. My sympathy goes to you and family, and may God bless the Grandparents and baby who were injured in the accident yesterday.

One thing that I don't understand: in your case, even if the driver was not criminally charged, he was clearly at fault (the $150 fine is a proof) and should be held liable for the bodily harm he caused to your mom. His insurance company should pick up the bill, not yours.

Am I right? Did I miss anything here?

在任何情况下，车都该让行人，否则造成后果都会得到tickets。但这并不代表司机没“理”，估计是警察偏信了司机的证词，所以要行人自己负担后果。不过不服的话可以上法庭，关键是得有证人或能说服法官，如果各说各的理，确实比较难办，吃哑巴亏也不是不可能。



我的经验是过有隔离带的大路口，到中间再看一下还是不是你的灯，如果已经变灯或时间不多了，就再等一下，强行通过有时还是很危险的，好像在法规上也不占理。

有时间、精力和钱的话，请律师打官司。

要不要请翻译？

Like or not, one's English proficiency is VERY and VERY critical here.

不过，行在路上只求平安、不求对错。家有老人的，一定要给他们谈谈让他们多小心些。

I see your points. So the fine itself didn't mean the driver was deemed responsible by Police; it's merely a ticket for resulting harm but not for a traffic violation or fault, therefore the driver was not liable for the other party's damage. Correct?

I heard on the radio last night that Police had ruled out drug or speeding as factors in the accident at Centrepoint yesterday. Investigation continues.

村长，要不你牵个头，给他们募捐点钱吧，别的帮不上，只是可以让他们雇个人看孩子看个把月救个急
