Summary of the Mission Gorge Road Crash. In cases of pedestrian fatal accidents, investigators look into various California traffic laws to identify contributing factors. The Pedestrian Roadway Law forbids pedestrians from walking or standing in the road if a sidewalk is present. When there is no sidewalk, pedestrians should stay as close to the road edge as they can while facing traffic. The Duty to Exercise Due Care Law is in effect, which mandates that drivers should be cautious and do everything they can to avoid hitting a pedestrian, no matter who is at fault or where the incident occurs. Additionally, the Basic Speed Law stipulates that drivers must travel at speeds appropriate for the current conditions, such as during low-light situations or early morning.
