Sensationalist headline.  Third sentence says "The five people hit were STANDING IN THE STREET when the Subaru plowed into them."

 

Next time, people, try standing on the sidewalk.

This article, from a local paper, says: "Several witnesses told Fremont Universe that the victims were standing in North 36th Street, talking to someone in a stopped car, when the eastbound Subaru drove into them."

C'mon, people, what are the chances of an inebriated driver driving near a nightclub that's closing? Watch out for them and don't be standing in the street where they'll be driving.

It doesn't seem to be a difficult thing to understand, does it? People standing around in the street (where vehicles are MEANT to be), and getting run over? Who woulda thunk it?

Well, the sidewalks are obviously just there for decoration.

Yeah, the article headline should have read "Man's car damaged by stupid people standing in street"!
