Other Sports Car Wreck of a Season

I hit a pedestrian once, many years ago. Came over a hill, had just come off the highway but was doing the speed limit at 50 MPH. The sun was setting, making visibility difficult and this couple ran across the 5 lane road. By the time I noticed her shadow it was too late. She rolled up the passenger side of the windsield and then off. One of her shoes was 100 feet down the road. Broke her hip and put in the hospital for a week. Cops cleared me and gave her a jaywalking ticket.

I may not have been at fault but I can still see it happening in my mind 30 years later.
