Motorists are required by law to decrease speed and give the right way to pedestrians walking in marked and unmarked crosswalks. It is unclear if the victim was walking in a safe area along the highway.
Investigations are ongoing to determine if the car involved had mechanical issues or system failure. Officials will also analyze photos of the scene as they consider if distraction, recklessness, drugs or alcohol played a role in the collision.
The results of the case will ultimately determine if the pedestrian may have a right to file a personal injury lawsuit and receive compensation for his injuries and medical bills.
